[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 713087, member: 18516"] It's always refreshing to come upon an article that validates that parents are not always to blame when a child grows up to be a difficult adult child. The following points from the article really hit home with me. Below is the link to the article. [I] "the fact remains that perfectly decent parents can produce toxic children." “The era of ‘there are no bad children, only bad parents’ is gone.” "For better or worse, parents have limited power to influence their children. That is why they should not be so fast to take all the blame — or credit — for everything that their children become."[/I] [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/health/13mind.html"]Accepting That Good Parents May Plant Bad Seeds[/URL] [/QUOTE]
