The most important (and most challenging) part of this week's homework is allowing for there to be nuance and grey area in something that is very raw and emotional for most of us. As adults, we are forced to remember that our parents are just people - messy, imperfect, and sometimes broken.
Lots of great responses. Shoutout, in particular, to those for whom this week's homework is tough. We tend to focus on what was lacking from our parents. But almost all of us are who we are - for better and worse - thanks to our childhood.
Thanksgiving week is here! Wow. Ok, in the spirit of being thankful, embracing gratitude, and generally putting positivity into the world, our topic this week will revolve around talking about the parts of our childhood that have most positively shaped who we are as adults.
