No certainly not. I should clarify myself, because I really meant to say that I couldn't help feeling like a failure, regardless of whether or not it's actually my fault.

Sometimes people just get sick in the head and do nutso stuff, and that has nothing to do with parenting, it just comes down to a chemical imbalance in the brain. But it's just that feeling that every parent would get in that situation, you'd tend to blame yourself, and feel like you failed your child somehow.

I don't know many parents that could shrug off these actions and just say "well it was his dumb decision, not mine." Every parent would feel like they failed their kid in that situation.
