You certainly have come a long way from where you were growing up. Note: I would not smoke pot or anything for that matter - IMO.

If you could write a story about what type of parenting would make sure your children are emotionally healthy what would that story say?

I was abused as a child and didn't know how to be a functional parent so when my first born was still a baby I signed myself up for a positive parenting class and it changed my life (in addition to reading psychology books and childrens emotional development). For me being a good parent shouldn't just be all about not beating my children or not withholding love and affection. I needed to know how to act most appropriately to ensure their emotional/mental health.

There are behaviors that can lead to addiction (in addition to biological). It's important to know what those behaviors are and be able to create new ones that are positive. I don't want my children to just survive like I did. I want them to have no boundaries or limits to success. I want them to thrive.
