My point isn't about blame at all. Just we are good enough already most often without work. We are great folk, wondrous parents (Jim here this) and loving men and women.
We can develop ourselves for our own sakes if we want to. Most often it is healing from the damage the wayward does and growing detachment and self compassion.
In many cases it makes diddly difference if the wayward is in la la. Jim jumping through hoops becoming Brad Pitt or Superman won't help. He is wonderful and amazing just as he is.
So becoming who we want to be for us is perfectly fine.
We are worth being M and in an R with.
