Alex I'm so sorry. It is maddening to me that all any parent needs to do is love their child(ren, provide a safe and happy environment and help mold them into good people.

Most of us are in therapy and/or are suffering because we didn't get this. It helped to start us off not ready for the world. We didn't have an emotional foundation for which to build upon.

All we can do at this point is save ourselves. The journey to do that is hard work, painful, at times discouraging.

The reward? Internal and external contentment that quiets the deamons and allows us to enjoy every day, every minute.

That is what I wish for you Alex and for everyone here.
