One thing I have learned in life DD there are no absolutes in anything. Im sure that Melanie and yourself have both done a great job raising your children. You both seem to be wonderful people. In my own family I had what I consider 2 wonderful parents that instilled good morals, a work ethic and the ability to be self sufficient. My oldest brother still got addicted to pain killers then heroin when his doctor cut him off and died at 48 by overdosing on methadone. So I am very aware of the fact that there are no perfect situations in life.

Sometimes it takes me awhile to digest the subtleties of your statements, James. Thank you for the thoughtful considerations.

We all have complicated maybe awful lives at times and those who dedicate time, and nurture others, produce good results more often. Any color, any age, any sex, any religion any anything improves with virtuous attention.
