Especially in cases of complicated relationships, it's important to be able to view our parents as children.
Picture them and see them as children, and remember that they were hurt, abandoned, felt unloved.
They were failed when it came to the safety that is supposed to be provided by their parent(s).
Their sense of security was shaken before their formative years had even taken place, and the scars are lifelong.
Some people come from such situations and are able to break the cycle. They're able to rise above by various practices...
Self-awareness, compassion toward self and others, and keeping their mental clarity ever sharp.
To truly understand and love oneself is the key to life. Sometimes this process is greatly expedited by understanding one's parents, viewed as children, if one was failed by them.
To forgive is the most important thing. To forget is not required. To learn from the mistakes of those who came before us is paramount.
Zane would want his kids to grow up knowing they were loved, because they were. He'd want them to grow up knowing that protecting the sanctity of their minds and bodies from any illicit substances is totally necessary.
I think that we can all learn from Zane's story. Yes, we should love ourselves, and walk in our truth. We should be true to the drive and passion of our hearts and souls. But we should do it keeping health as the most important focus, and we should do it for the right reasons.
