With all due respect I have to disagree with this statement and say so. It’s not as simple as “choice”.
If our parents had it bad they already became “damaged” in the ability to make “good “ choices down the road. To make a “choice “ implies free will in which I argue against. Our thinking of “free will” is assuming that we have the ability to make rational and moral judgment decisions on a moments notice, much of the time. I am in no way implying that decisions are just attributed to the accumulation of input into our minds up to that point. I was told once though that you may not be responsible for your actions but you will be held accountable !
I think that says it all without having to understand all the implications that it contains.
