right. it's always easier to give 'advice' from a distance.
I didn't want my daughter to get my coping skills either. Hiding with a book for weeks on end? Not good. Neither is using what they call 'mind altering chemicals.'
My sister and I swore we wouldn't become our father. We might make mistakes, but by gosh they would be *different* mistakes.
I think if we can teach them love, kindness, empathy and respect the rest will work out. Eventually.
