Completely to the point. Your parents love you unconditionally always and forever. What makes YOUR parents proud has nothing to do with your status in life. What makes us proud is if you have integrity. How do you treat your parents, your grandparents, your spouse, your children. What are your goals and aspirations and are you living the life YOU wish to lead, whatever that may be. Do you own up to your misgivings and are you acting on them? Are you working on your pluses. Are you looking after your children. Are they happy, healthy, warm, loved and comfortable? Are they fed nutritious food? Do they have decent living accommodations? Are you a good example for them? A decent roll model? If you need to fix something or change something. Fix it, change it. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. Can you imagine the evening of your life and sit back and say..have I done all I can to show them, to teach them. We only wish all of our children are happy. That is the goal of a wise and decent parent. There are people and organizations and counselors out there in the community to help. If someone said they did it all alone then they are 1% of 1% of the population. Most people with any addiction need support. Someone to talk to. Someone who knows, because they have been there. The best of them then go on to help others. Having said all that, take a close look at all the homeless street people. Cast off by society for so many reasons. People thrown under the bus and tossed out like the proverbial baby with the bathwater. They have lost hope and no one to help them other than kind citizens who feed them and give them blankets. WE ARE FOREVER HERE.
