We all have our crosses to bare and no two crosses are alike...My now young adults are approximately one year apart and my decision to look into professional therapy for myself began as they were about a year into their teenage years...I felt chaos all around me but with one definning issue,,,they were unified in their msssion to defeat me.and bring me to my knees..

My wife and I did have the benefit of a very strong AA program thoughout most of it,,we were profound advocates of change,,,patience and tolerance. Harmones and peer pressure became my constant adversaries and though I was brought to one knee a few times,,I righted myself with the help of a loving wife and great therapist and trudged on...

"This too shall pass" was my therapist's motto for me and how right she was...Just Love them for what they must go through and they will Love you for it...

So true....
