"It is a universal part of the human condition that we must heal wounds from our past. The illusion of perfect parents must eventually give way to the realities of who our parents are as concrete individuals. Their limitations invariably become our own, in one way or another, and their struggles with identity and self-esteem become the stumbling blocks that we find in our own lives. This is the human condition.."

-Timmen Cermak, M.D

Having newborns, I've come to the realization that being a parent is hard. Harder than I thought it could be. You've got to be the parent that you envisioned when you were a child.
