How to Survive Your Parents

"The process of becoming a real good parent is in itself a growing-up experience. As you correct your child, the naughty child in you is loved. Unfortunately, most parents have had little, if any, corrective love in their formative years. They bring with them into marriage the hell of their parents and various childish, selfish cravings. More often than not, a man is just another child to his wife, competing with the baby for momma's affections - a spoiled brat, teasing his wife (the way he did his momma) to let him have his own way. "When husbands and wives are immature, they are on the same emotional level as their children, so they are not only involved with their own childish intrigues with one another, but with their children's sniveling rivalry as well So, everyone in the family continues to evolve madly and wildly because there exists no referee, no modifying factor of Divine authority in the home. That is what is behind all family tragedies."
