Each case can have some of its own unique factors, of course, but I would definitely agree nothing is gained by either generation believing itself any better or greater than the other. My parents divorced after I was married and on my own, but I ended up divorced and had abandoned my two daughters before the younger had even started school. Many years later we reunited and were all together for a while -- my second wife and I, my two daughters, a son-in-law and my grandchildren -- like "The Waltons", but their challenges in life were much different than mine had been and just as mine had been much different than those of my parents. Either of my daughters would willingly take me in today and even change my diapers, if ever necessary, just as I had once changed theirs, but I have learned the hard way that we parents are the ones who need to do the most adjusting for the sake of maintaining and growing our parent-child-grandchild relationships in an ever-changing world.
