Thanks for your kind words.

That thread was posted to be preventative.

To call and challenge parents to be good parents.

Mine are grown, but it is never too late. You have more control with the little ones. I think it is very hard to be a parent in our times. There are so many different parenting styles. You try to be strict with your own about some things; your neighbors might be too permissive (& vice versa about other things), kids can't understand those things. They might see the permissive parents as better, happier, and more fun. I could have done several things better, but I could have done worse as well.

If you have an adult, mentally-ill child, I don't like to get into blaming too much. Sometimes the best parents in the world can't cope with it effectively and keep things running at the same time.

Here it is refreshing to find a respected professional that is Christian, and look at the cross that has been laid on that family. They probably tried to do the best they knew.
