[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 565639, member: 3907"] The father seems to recognize his failing, though. Here is a comment he made when being interviewed for the Daily Telegraph: [FONT=Georgia]'I bought into the fashionable philosophy of not interfering; letting the children find themselves. When they were getting into trouble -- at school, or later with their relationships -- I would just bite my lip and tell myself, ‘Don't butt in, it's their lives.' I was trying to express my frustration at these wonderful grown-ups who had yet to make the best of what they had. They have read the criticism, but not seen the enduring love through the lines.... I haven't done well as a father, have I?' [/FONT]Likely too little too late, but the introspection doesn't hurt I think.[FONT=Georgia] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
