Yes, Ygrec, what your saying is so very true. Parents are mostly not aware of how they can damage their children, this has been the case for many generations. It is very sad and when people lament over their childhood issues and their parents I do encourage them to truely look behind that parent and try their best to understand that parents history and what they knew and experienced before they became a parent. That way we can begin to see that our past issues are not always because we were unworthy, it was more that our parents truely didn't know, or were abused themselves, or even had disorders or issues that they truely did not know about.

Now as we are gaining more information and clearly know about child abuse and how wrong it is, it is time to educate parents on how to understand childhood developement and how best to guide their children and what they can watch for that may be presenting their children with possible diorders that can be helped. Some parents are trying, but we truely need more eduaction. It is not fair to just expect our schools to do it all, it must be there for the child at home as well.
