Wow, Jon. Your response really moved me and made me thankful that I took the time to write this piece. I am grateful that you found some value there for yourself and your children. Parenting is so hard, but when we want the best for our kids, even when we make mistakes, they usually turn out ok. Good for you for being willing to examine yourself. It is when we heal our wounds that our children can see that it’s ok to be human.

Thanks for reading, and I tweaked the title, thanks to you!

Happy Parenting!
