You are a great lady.First of all I salute you for your fortitude and the glimmer of positive attitude that you have shown in your question. The idea is to not let thoughts hamper you any further. All are born with their destiny, although in case of children going astray it hurts deeply. Leave them to their destiny. Your husband has a kind of job that entails remaining outside most of the days. Continue as well as you can with your helpful daughter. Think of others who are worse off. Do some meditation and yoga.There are books and teachers who will help you in this.Let the things slide and do not think too much over issues over which you have no control.A change in attitude will change the mental landscape. You have all my good wishes.

you should look in the mirror. there's a problem with you. build up your self-esteem. your daughter needs a mom who is happy. don't worry about your older two boys. there is nothing you can do at this point to help them. however focus on your daughter, she needs you.

I think you need family counseling and stay away from your son, I know this may ne harsh but he is grown and have made his bed and let him lie in it.

Suck it up. We all live with our past choices.
