I think one of the biggest problems that the world is facing today is everyone's urge to understand things instead of just letting them go.

Anger in some situations is appropriate, repressed anger over emotional trauma in the distant past is a waste of time, effort, and emotional headspace. Just let it go. Understanding it won't do you any real good.

Concentrate on how you would like to rear your child and the relationship that you would like to have with your child.
