[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 681430, member: 19905"] Because of my job, I have always known this is fallacy. I have seen many kids come from good homes with supportive, involved parents, kids who had the whole world right in front of them and all they had to do was go out and grab it - go to hell in a hand basket. And I have seen many, many kids who parent themselves because their parents are strung out, in jail, coming in and out of their lives, you name it - rise above and become hugely successful and live happy, productive lives. My ignorance? Like many of us who see tragedy and have that little "that wouldn't happen to me" voice, I listened. And when it did happen to me, my child, my family? It took my breath away. I don't ever look at tragedy with that feeling of invincibility anymore. No one is immune or "safe" from pain. [/QUOTE]
