We're passing on this overstressed and overprogrammed way of life to our children. Hopefully, they'll have the sense that we have lacked, and reject it.

I agree. The one point you didn't single out — and which I'm sure you'd agree with — is the impact that a parent's stress can have on their child or children, whether it be a single or divorced parent, or parents in traditional homes. Thanks again, and as always, for the input. Thanks Gina. I agree.

I think what's important is how people handle stress and how that affects their lives. What could kill one person, another person handles in stride. It's good to have friends to share with and a built-in support system in life, at least that's what gets me through things, in addition to exercise and practicing Reiki. Stress is a silent killer, really not to be minimized, so frequent blood pressure checks and self-checks are so crucial. We often get too busy to stop and regroup in life.
