Actually I'll take whatever challenges I'm best equipped to overcome. If it hadn't been for a long line of folks on mom's side chewing kids up and spitting them out then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to break the pattern with my DD who talks to her dad about everything and who has had her right to be a child defended with a mixture of teddy bear tenderness and grizzly bear not so tenderness when it was needed. Fortunately my own issues kinda came to a head and it was time to pump out the septic tank the past couple years.
