Anyone feel they made major life mistakes that are not forgivable?

@cmdw2600 This conversation couldn't be more timely. I was awake at 2:30 am last nigh with worry. It happens regularly. Our son is angry with us right now because we expressed our concern about a decision they have made regarding our grandsons that we strongly disagree with. We told him we were worried about it and he reacted strongly and isn't speaking to us. Do we ever stop worrying about our children/grandchildren? I wish I could and the silence is hurtful.

It's difficult to respond to your post because there's no way of knowing if you crossed a line or just crossed a line in your son's mind. When our children do things in raising their children that we disagree with, it can seem like they think we did something wrong, and no one likes hearing that they were/are wrong. Tread carefully if you want to maintain a relationship with your son. If they feel that you're meddling, you will like the outcome even less than you do now. Every parent makes mistakes and somehow we all survive through childhood.
