"STARTING OVER"

I have often heard friends lament about what they would do differently if they had the opportunity to do it all over again.  Some parents believe that given a second chance they would be better parents.  For example, they would make wiser decisions, pay attention to the red flags, spend more time with the children, follow their gut instincts, and so on. . .
