I like that very much, too. Thank you, wanderer.

As usual, Dana, your thoughtful comments hit the nail on the head. Although I really cannot shoulder any more guilt and grief over the past, my kids are young enough adults that they haven't the life experience yet to know that life smacks all of us around and each of us is fallible. They'll get there. I think seeing parents clearly is perhaps one of the last things that comes with maturity. That doesn't make these conversations easier to deal with but I understand.
