Great article, Ryan.

Mine didn't either. At their worst, it was an emotional terror for me as I FELT everything to the core. It took me decades to reconcile my experience, and I vowed to be a better parent and stay happily married for thirty-nine years.

In retrospect, I'm grateful now for the experience because my parents taught me how NOT to be.

And that made all the difference.

By the way, I've been coached by Matt Lillywhite, who suggested I submit my articles to you. I'm going to do that today.
