Susan, I'm so glad you wrote that paragraph. I'm right there with you, my friend. (Btw, it's good to see you posting again!)
You've put it down in words perfectly. There is a huge difference between "doing the right thing" and doing what we "thought" was the right thing. I thought I was doing the right thing, too, but it wasn't the right thing for my son...or me. I made the wrong decision... It took years for me to find that out.
But there's no turning back the hands of time....
