Transparency - I wish i would have done better by my son
And then in the winter, he would play basketball again. And then he would go back to the spring where he would be training, and then basketball like that. And we did that from fifth grade till 11th grade. And so in the summer, he played in the AAU, which took him all over. And every game he had, I was there, but I think because I really didn't, he was either practicing or in training after school until like 06:00, maybe 07:00

Maybe I could have maybe I should have found a mentor for him so somebody a man that he could talk to, like, every week and could take him and do something with him. Maybe I should have found him a mentor. All these thoughts run through my mind. Yeah, I just wish I but then, looking back on my life and how life was and I made some mistakes as a mother, right

Ask God to guide us in our hands and our every need and our thoughts and everything we need to do for our kids. Other than that, I don't know what else to do. I didn't do, I guess, a good enough job of my daughter because she's not here. But she left. But I believe in my heart of hearts that I did. And if I could do it all over again yeah, I do some things differently, but not much

The good thing to know is that you did not abandon, you did not give up. Regardless what was going on, you never give up. You stood your ground until your son is grown now. And I did the same. I never give up. I was there. Twenty four, seven and that's why today I call myself a happy person, because I have learned so many lessons through those years and those years also the years from before I was a parent

Ah. Thank you so much for your reply. I so appreciate it. I'm praying for you and for your daughter as well, that God will open up her heart in her mind and you can hurt and have a conversation. And I'm praying for my son as well, that God will open up his heart in his mind, and I know God can, and I know he will. And so I'm sorry. That's my granddaughter, but, yes, I so appreciate your response

And it's true, I've had my dad my whole life. And so I don't know what it's like to grow up without one and to long for one. But even with my sister moving all these guys in and out, and she married again after my nephew's father, she married a second time. And that relationship was a disaster from the beginning. But they longed for a father

My niece and nephew needed a father. And my sister, like I said, she had boyfriends, but these boyfriends were no good. They weren't father figures. They didn't even take care of their own children, much less hers. And so you can tell for a long time that my nephew had a lot of resentment and anger towards my sister because he didn't have his father. You can tell the resentment, the anger, the frustration

Hello. Thank you, Tanya, for your viewpoint and also for replying to this. Well, yeah, it's a rough thing, and I do praise God that my son hasn't made his life harder than what it should be. Um, but he definitely has some and I believe he has some resentment towards me about not having a father and things of that nature. And there really is nothing that I can do to make that better
