That's the point I was trying to make. In some ways, I have been a father to my children but in some ways, it's also impossible. My mother had to do the same thing.
However, the way you see things is quite different when you are a child living it and when you are an adult going through it. I didn't understand the things my mother went through until I went through them myself.
