Parenting Mistakes

My mind a sieve of confusion,
my heart breaking into a thousand pieces of glass,
the pain as it cuts is unbearable;
a blank slate of instructions,
illegible.

Tears drain as I sit here unsure,
my stomach a hodgepodge of what if's?
Love is unable to lend a hand,
questioning my own actions;
as if a B rated movie plays in my eyes,

a frozen stare, forcing me to watch.

Decisions an obstacle course,
unable to jump high and clear it.
A parenting manual, unprinted,
guidance a cyclone of misinformation.

A sigh escapes my pierced lips,

what have I done wrong?

You hate me , how do you think I feel?

Crushed under the weight of a rock,

deciding what is right or wrong.

I profess not to have all the answers, why do I feel so wrong?

    Allright I see...something about myself: my foster-parents tried to rise me by an actual book (I know which one), following the instructions...it turned out badly...raising children is too complicated to do it by a book, or second hand imformation, or good-meaning advice, which turned out bad...to be an parent is also something you have to learn, by experiences....and learning means you may make mistakes...maybe uncounciously you continue your own raising, by your parents, but not usefull anymore for your children...the only mistake I can see you don't trust yourself enough, to listen carefully what is good for your children...yeah, I can speak easy, for I have no children...but I gain so my information...this time is difficult, because of the huge flow of information (which has nothing to do with understanding), and the fact the young kids matures too quickly...any help, I'm here for you

    the cloud has lifted and sunshine brightly prevails--

    --and a beautiful flower emerges from the bud of innocence"
    Alas, beauty in emergence!

    Well written
