Overstepping The Bounds

"The one thing in life I regret is not being strong enough…if that's the right word…but, intervening more in my older son's life as an adult. I think if I had, some of the things he's gone through wouldn't have happened, but when your children become adults you know you're supposed to step back, and maybe he wasn't ready for me to step back even though he thought he was. So, what I've learned is sometimes you might have to overstep your bounds, you know, and make something better happen and they'll realize it down the line and say, 'Oh yeah, I'm glad you did that.'"
