Fair enough. I wasn't certain if PC or home/son/husband, so I asked a more open ended question.
I think, as moms, we're simply more prone to guilt, grief and heartache by virtue of motherhood. There's often going to be regretable moments. But that's how we grow as women. It takes two to tango, even in the mother/son dance.
My oldest, who has broken my heart not quite at the level of other moms, but heartbreak nevertheless has actually stated at times-it's not me, it's him. Not every son may articulate it that way. I'm glad that he did. It's moved our mother/son relationship forward instead of backwards.
