Just wanted to say that I know the abuse I suffered, vs. the way we have raised our children probably has a lot to do with the difference in the relationship between parent and child in our household as well... I do realize that perhaps it’s not quite fair to compare the two in light of the fact that my children were not abused as I was... However, I still think there is a basis for what you’ve said Quix. Not all children rebel due to outright abuse — but ALL will rebel (IMO) if they don’t know love...
Well put.
