All parents make mistakes. Mine did, I'm sure yours did. All you can ask is they love you and do their best. It sounds like you've done that.
More to the point, there's a point in our lives when we have gotten beyond being able to lay the blame for our parents' mistakes for the things in our lives that go wrong. One of my wife's uncles, in his 50s, still rags on his (90!) year old mother about this, that and the other. What an absolute load of crap; if we want to be treated as an adult, we have to act like one, and that includes taking responsibility.
