Rewrite

As much as most parents want to be good parents, we all bump up against the reality that we’ve not always been good people. It’s because we’ve not always been good people that we have pieces from our past that we carry with us into our present. The thing all parents need to wrestle with is how they’ll handle who they’ve been and the pieces of their past that have been brought into their present. Will we normalize our past, or will we have the courage to point our children in a different direction?
