The greatest failure.

It is not the end of the relationship that defeats you, relationships end all the time and are a normal healthy part of life and growth.

Some never place any personal responsibility on the end of a relationship and doom themselves.

It is the inability to learn from an ended relationship that is the failure.

Learn how to love in a healthy way.

Learn who is capable of loving you in a healthy way.

Learn how to heal your issues.

Learn how to self reflect.

Learn how to compromise.

Learn how to sustain a healthy loving relationship with people who don't mirror yourself.

Learn how to value others for their differences.

An inability to do so is the only failure.

We should all value those who have learned these lessons in time to break unhealthy family cycles and save their subsequent relationships.

I'm sorry to hear you say that LeeElizabeth.

What standards are you judging yourself by?

We all fail at parenting at times.

Even when we feel we have done our best, the situation changes and turns out differently down the road.

The truth is, if your examining your past parenting skills now, it shows you must have given it some thought then.

That's all we can ask of another human being. To try our best.

You sound down.

All the best. flowers
