I sure hope you're not holding yourself 100% for that? I sure as heck wouldn't. You're a busy mom with a lot going on, and you trusted her. I think it's reasonable to expect you to look away once in awhile--because we both know it's not from negligence.
The one thing about that eerie horoscope. It's not your perception of the issue, but hers.
You've mentioned having siblings--even your goofy older brother. When we were younger, we all had our own perceptions of our family life--and much of that had to do with birth order and the level of busy-ness going on in the family at the time.
My little bro had opportunity to slip under my parents' radar screen because my dad was holding down a second job to pay off his college loans and my mom was involved with PTA, girl scouts and a few other volunteer jobs.
He was smart enough to really figure out their weaknesses and orchestrated his timing absolutely perfectly. It took a few years to catch up with him.
It's not that you're not paying attention, Ellie. She just adapted around things. And I'd definitely like to reassure you that her truth ain't necessarily THE truth. Just a perception.
Keep on keeping on. I'm pulling for you. Especially your D.
