- My folks never argued in front of the kids and as a result, none of
- the four of us are any good at dealing with anger or disagreements.
- We all tend to avoid them at any cost...from a deep seated belief
- that "people who love each other don't fight". I wish I'd grown
- up seeing that disagreements happen and can be resolved.
- Other wise, "things my parents did right" are many: the united
- front, supporting us in what we wanted to do, always letting
- us know we are loved.
