[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681791, member: 18958"] I think each of us has to find a balance that works. For me, I was unable and unwilling to suppress all of me, my voice. Thank goodness that has not been what has been required in our situation. For me as a parent, I found I had to accept my own humanity. I guess guidance may not be the word I was searching for. I mean truth. I believe that for me there had to be room to tell the truth. Luckily in our case, my son is willing to hear it now. Before he was not. But I said it nonetheless. I tell the truth about my own parenting because I believe that there are a variety of approaches that can work, depending upon the parent and the child. Not that one is better or worse. Some parents will be unable to stay silent, others can. And I think it is important to represent that sometimes I am human and imperfect. While other parents may do better, I believe I do good enough. I think there is room for variability, humanity and self-forgiveness if we do not meet an ideal. COPA [/QUOTE]
