[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677142, member: 11791"] It's not just the words - but my mother was a wordsmith and I'm oversensitive to words! I grew up in a rough neighborhood. Some kids turned out OK, some not so well, some awful. But the ones where I know the stories? Most of the time, the presence of just ONE consistently-available, caring, stable adult, made the biggest difference. And the kids who turned out the worst, had nobody. Some had two working parents and a reasonable level of income and so on - and had nothing and nobody. Others had absent or addicted parents, no food, rags for clothes, and still had somebody who really cared. I know that for my kids, the biggest single lack has been the fact that absolutely nobody outside of our tiny immediate family has shown a single minute's personal and committed care or interest in them. It's a really tough world out there. [/QUOTE]
