What a great share. It demonstrates that although you are struggling and have suffered, your are taking actions to break that cycle for the next generation. You are being a good role model for your children.

I was in a similar situation last week. Although in my case I chose to stand firm and pass along a good value trait that my parents had taught me--you shouldn't run away. In my case my son was feeling very nervous and feeling like he would make a fool of himself during a school performance. He wanted me to fix his anxiety by giving him a way out of the situation (allowing pretend he was sick and stay home or writing his teacher and saying he did not have to perform). I firmly but kindly refused his requests but I also tried to help him deal with his feelings.
