I do! I raised two children and have had to let them make their own mistakes, learn the hard lessons, craft lives that are meaningful for them. Children are not clones of their parents or siblings. Parents are to guide, teach, shelter, shield, and equip their children. But get out of their way when they are grown and not interfere, letting them go their own direction. Too many of us in my generation did not have parents who understood that. Because of what they endured during their lives (the Great Depression, World War II, etc.), they pushed, prodded, lectured, threatened, and demanded that we do things a certain way. They acted out of their own kind of love, but it was destructive. And it translated into a relationship founded on conditional love. I forgave my parents long ago, acknowledgng that they did the best they could with the information available to them & taking into account their emotional limitations because of their own life experiences. But raised my children very differently, and much more in line with the philosophy expoused by Lucy.
