Just don't expect anything and you won't fail. Others might think you do, but you don't have to live your life as others expect you to.

Has BP taught you nothing? Have you lost any real friends?

Do you think you've been (or are) a bad parent?

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
