'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' is a truism because it's true.
We just keep repeating the same mistakes until we wake up. And then doing the work is so difficult. It came to my attention just this week that I'm still parenting in ways I learned as a child and that I swore I wouldn't do to my children.
I got a chuckle from the kumbaya story.
