I hear it too often in our society, arrogant and toxic ones screeching about parents and shifting all of the blame for the children's choices on "bad" parenting/parents. My experience growing up was a nightmarish hell. While others may have very devoted, loving parents- these children are suffering and troubled. I know in my heart that there is no equation or recipe to get the outcome that we desperately want for our children.

One of the most painful things is seeing those that we care for and love make their choices and realize we cannot love them out of the negative ones.
