[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 553880, member: 11235"] I started laughing when I read this question because I think nearly all of the parents I have encountered here are and always have been very involved, caring, proactive parents. If good parenting could have stopped the issues of our difficult children then I think very few of us would be on this board. I know we all made mistakes, but I believe nearly everyone here did everything within their power to give their difficult children a stable, positive upbringing. With most of these kids I think there is some faulty wiring- either mental health issues, addictive personalities, or maybe just DNA that predisposes them to problems. But I'm pretty sure most of us not only talked and talked and talked to our kids about this stuff, but did all kinds of early intervention to prevent it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying early intervention won't help, and who knows you may not face these problems at all. You have to educate them and provide them every opportunity to make the right decisions, what they end up doing is up to them. [/QUOTE]
