I went through a dark night of the soul when on of my darling teenaged girls went off the deep end. See....I had been the perfect mom and I was SURE that if I only were more perfect she would make right choices. It was a year period that Father showed me it was not mine to be perfect and that He was big enough to be there for her.<BR/><BR/>But now even as we raise the rest of them I have no markers to say that they are doing well or I am doing well and it still bothers me.
