Discovered this observation I wrote in my journal after several conversations with my sons:
"To become an adult is to survive your parents' best attempts and worst failures to get to the place where your disappointment that these god-like figures are only human dissolves into respect that mere humans tried to raise you--when somewhere in you the innate divinity keeps pushing through normal angst and a world that seeks to destroy you--while oftentimes trying to have a conversation and life with another human trying also to be your parent. Life can sometimes be the best example of hell."
