[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 165982, member: 3626"] For Tiger and his parents, he was and is an exceptional person with an exceptional gift. I doubt anyone was casting aspersions on other parents when they said what a great job Tiger's parents had done with him. He had a gift. He was willing to work to improve that gift. His parents backed him up. Isn't that what we all do? His parents did the best they could for their child. So do we. So does my neighbor. So do my friends. The fact our children are not golf pros or tennis greats or Nobel prize winners doesn't less the fact that we all are great parents. We guided our children the best we could. The paths our children chose are theirs, not ours. As to Al-Anon, why not make your topic about detaching better? Something about the fact that you keep wanting to save him and how to stop that vicious circle? The newbies shouldn't be a factor -- they're there because of alcoholism or drugs in their family. They've lived the reality of this for many years. I think they can handle anything brought up. That's why they're there. [/QUOTE]
