Re: Parental responsibility

I know that parenting is not an exact science...it is more of an art.
I know that methods and strategies are not foolproof. You can only do your best with the experience that life has given you. Even then,you can still get it wrong.
Getting it wrong can have disastrous consequences.

I feel for the parents of the 15 year old. They will live with their own brand of nightmare for the rest of their lives and will be asking themselves all the 'if only' questions, with no answers.

If you raise children to be happy, then you deserve a medal.
