Mother attempts to mend the rift between her two sons over the younger brother's girlfriend, they refuse to reconcile and demand she chooses a side

Most parents measure their success as parents by how their kids turn out, and how they behave as adults. It is not just about how successful they are in their careers, or by what age they have started a family of their own, but it is more about how they turned out as people, and how they treat others. Seeing that your kid has compassion and is kind is the biggest testimony to how well you raised them, and the biggest gift a parent could ever receive.

Has any parent ever admitted that they failed? Are there parents out there who look at their children and realize that they didn't turn out to be good people, and they blame themselves for it?

The answer is absolutely yes, there are plenty of parents who think that. It is not necessarily true, or even justifying, but we all know a parent or two who make it well known that they are unhappy with how their children turned out to be as adults.

Should the mom in the story below feel like she failed because of her son's actions? We'll let you be the judge of that, so scroll down to read her story.

When one of your kids betrays the other, it is only natural to take a long look at yourself and wonder if your parenting was the cause of such behavior. There is no right answer to this question, but it is still important to learn from something like this, and at least make an attempt to ensure it does not happen again.
The unfortunate thing is, that even if the mother learns from these actions, she still cannot fix the rift they caused in her family, and she might never be able to. So how does one go from there?
