I think it was Jeff Foxworthy in one of his routines who said, "Just once I'd like to hear somebody say,'My parents were great. My dad went to all my games. My mom was loving. They provided love and support. I'm just a ____head!!'" :)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737973262005167895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459696196850168776.post-71543891180983792002010-02-20T13:42:27.550-08:002010-02-20T13:42:27.550-08:00Steve,

I am a mental health and addictions counselor, as I am sure you know, and struggle with this issue with clients. They have every reason (excuse)under the sun "I'm sorry I am a lousy parent BUT my parents were horrible, I can't help it." "I know I shouldn't smoke crack but I can't help it, my life is horrible." I can't or won't move forward or make positive changes in my life becaues I was so traumatized." I have watched these people for years, making very little if any change. Some get worse as we, the mental health service providers, enable, support and thusly perpetuate their lack of responsibility for their own lives. Is Tiger one of them? Are they different from those who should be held responsible? I don't know.<br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
