I don't think you're a bad mom. You face a problem and took steps to rectify it - which is better then those folks who'd left their children to fend for themselves.
No doubt Kendra is almost 20 and had lived with you for almost 2 years now - it's still considered a pretty short period of time to learn about these quirks and reactions - after all, you can't expect all kinds of scenarios to befall on someone all at one go...
I guess that's what makes bringing up kids that difficult and why it's considered such a learning experience.
