I think the drugs and alcohol have a lot to do with changing someone’s brain chemistry and affecting their personality.
And call me silly as well, but there is something about this generation of kids—millennials—that they seem to feel so doggone entitled! I know it’s not true for every kid, but even my two “typical” kids feel way more entitled than I ever did as a child. And they are good kids, don’t get me wrong. But did I cause that because I gave them a better life than I had or is it just something sort of generational? And they by no means had everything or were spoiled. Just had more than I did.
And I have thought long and hard about why some children, often from the same abusive family, can be so resilient and turn out to be successful, hard-working citizens while their siblings flounder in the throes of addiction or their own failings.
Just questions...no answers. Would like to know what others think.
