[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the conversation is not about expecting kids to be grateful they were not abused.

It is more about adults realizing that a supportive/healthy family is the ultimate blessing. And voicing that while they are still on this planet to know how much they are loved and appreciated. [/quote]

I am almost 40, and I am now just realizing that a supportive/ healthy family is the ultimate blessing. I have been surrounded by these kids of families mostly. So it never even occurred to me to think about it.

I am now close( indirectly- he married a close friend of mine) who comes from an extremely dysfunctional family. He does not stand a chance: he is a mess.

Now u realize just how cursed he is to be born in such a family. It's easy to think theoretically about people like this. You really begin to appreciate yours when you are close to someone from such a family.

OP, I hope your daughter never gets to witness the kinds of things it takes to open her eyes.[/quote]
