General Discussion / Re: Did I do the right thing

Momfeelinglost, I believe you did the right thing.
Maybe this is off topic. My son was a real handful when he was a teenager. He did unlawful things, did drugs, hung out with the wrong people, drank, partied, etc. My husband and I used to wonder if we were good parents. Why was our son acting this way? We weren't like that when we were young. How did he get this way? Now I believe we were good parents. We never gave up on him.
My son continued some of his partying ways when he got married. As soon as he had his first child he started to change. He is now a very responsible caring loving parent of two children. Holds a good job. Is sensible about money.
Unfortunately my son is now separated. His ex wife wanted to continue partying when he did not. He wanted to be there for his family. He is now happier and has found a girlfriend who truly cares about him. Time will tell if this relationship works. He is always there for his children and his girlfriend has a child who is in the same age range as his children and they get along tremendously. This child also adores my son and he is very kind to her. I am not saying that things are always perfect. I am very proud of my son and my late husband would have been also.
Hope I haven't become too wordy and haven't sounded like a goody, goody.
