People, including parents, can only give what they know. I can't expect my dad to have been less bi-polar, less alcoholic, or better able to relate to children. And so we children who make it to adulthood without this informations must decide for ourselves to change. It is incredibly satisfying when we finally get it. Dean,

We don't see the light of success, even the smallest instance, so we continue to relate everything happening in the "now" to "what happened before." We have been taught that you "learn from your mistakes" but what they don't teach us is HOW to learn from those mistakes. Don't allow your past results to dictate your future actions or reactions. Unfortunately that wasn't in the parenting handbook when I was growing up. dean Hi Lori,
