There are very few choices in life outside of our control. We may often blame others for our particular life situation without examining how our own personal choices have brought us to where we are today. When we begin to see that we are responsible for our own life choices, and accept responsibility for them, we will then begin to make better choices and empower that upward process.
Parents and Puberty By Karen Stephenson
Parenting through the puberty-years is the most challenging aspect in raising a child.

Multiple Sclerosis, A Baffling Disease By Brenda Layman
Multiple Sclerosis, often referred to as MS, is a disease that is difficult to diagnose and extremely hard to predict.

Talk show hosts give plenty of advice to middle-aged parents whose children have ‘failed to launch’, admonishing them for smothering their offspring with too much loving care.
