There is nothing more hurtful than knowing you did the very best job possible in raising your children, and then have them accuse you of being the root of all their problems. This attitude comes because of Josh's lack of maturity and unwillingness to accept the consequences of poor choices. I do know how you feel sweetheart, because having had seven children, I too, have been blamed for the problems in some of your lives. I guess,in some respects we feel justified in our actions because "it really isn't my fault because....." As mother's we would love to have our children understand and appreciate the dedication and sacrifices we have made for them, but unfortunately, that usually doesn't come until they become parents themselves, and sometimes, sadly, it never comes. I wish you knew how many, many times I tell people what a wonderful mother you are. I tell them the circumstances in which you were a single mother,living alone, fiercly independent, and completely devoted to raising your sons to be the very best people that they could be. I ALWAYS hold you up as the "ideal" for your siblings (and others)in parenting. Know Lisi, that no matter what Joshy says, you are not at fault. You are hurting, and rightfully so, but I pray that you will be blessed with peace and comfort to know, without question, that you are and have been the best mother any child could be blessed to have. I love you Angel. Keep the faith.
