[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 76867, member: 1545"] "An underlying presumption of successful parenting" ... I know people like this. Bless them. All parents experience heartache. For some of us ... it's during childhood. For some adolescence. For others (perhaps like this family that you speak of) it may be during their adult years. Their children may go through an ugly divorce. Get a cancer diagnosis. Have a wayward child of their own. Struggle with addictions as adults. Personally, I'm glad that I learned at a younger age how to deal with the difficulties that parenting can bring. When they face their own families difficulties, you'll be poised to offer your wise counsel and experience Barb. Yup ... parental heartache/heartbreak is in the same category as death and taxes. There's just no avoiding it. [/QUOTE]
