Taking responsibility for yourself and your happiness gives a great freedom to children who have felt guilty and responsible for your unhappiness {which they always do}. A child can never hope to balance the scales or repay the debt when a parent has sacrificed her life, her happiness, her fulfilment for the child or the family. Seeing a parent fully embrace life gives a child the permission to do the same, just as seeing a parent suffer indicates to the child that suffering is what life is all about.
