Another way to look at it maybe dear plenum, is that a lot of the things that we allow excuses for are the things for which society as a whole allows excuses. This in turn is a reflection of yourself again of course, by the situations occurring and the other players being there "condoning" your actions. If they/you were able to forgive you back then in the now, then you should afford yourself the same forgiveness in the here and now. It's easy to fall into a groupthink point of view, especially in a family dynamic. Sometimes we lower our vibrations to facilitate our accepted role in the group, just think of all the catalyst you facilitated: the role you played to your siblings as their brother, the patience you taught your friend in having to deal with your impatience AND your illness, the chain of events that occurred after the desperate actions you took. None of these are mistakes and were very valuable to the other selves involved, don't devalue them!
Even the societal idea that children aren't as responsible for their actions as "adults", is just society's way of indulging our child selves with the graciousness of free will. Be grateful for that.
From my own point of view, my first memories as a child were dealing with catalyst, and polarizing. I accepted a lot of responsibility at a very young age, and have rarely been afforded the luxury of playing the "jerk".
Delight in your freedom! There are ways it makes your journey so much more hard fought.
