What I don't want--viscerally--is that parents who are already struggling read these posts and use them to beat themselves up. Because that helps no one. I don't want these posts to be the cause of horrible regret or fuel in self-immolation.
I understand that you are not trying to make anyone feel guilty or inadequate, but I really wish I had known you when my son was young. I am so not a people person that I didn't see the types of things you have pointed out when they were going on in his head.
