Are children doomed to make their parent's mistakes? Do they always follow in their footsteps?

I don't think Piper and I have ever had such a vicious fight as the one we've just had. All over her grades. It's really amazing how one little twig can be the thing that breaks down so many walls.

How sharper than a serpents tooth, indeed.

Parents and children will always have fights, that'll always be how the world works. It'll never get easier, but I have faith that you are a good mother who truly wants the best for her child. And I have faith that Piper does know this and loves you and all you've done for her as much as a child can.

If we as parents recognize the mistakes our own parents made, then we're free to break the pattern and make something new. Acknowledging is the first step to changing it.

There will always be fights and disagreements. Always, because that's the way it goes. The question is whether or not the fights get resolved, and if that happens to mutual benefit.

And that's pretty much all I know about it, but you two seem to have a genuinely genial relationship, from what I've observed. It can weather the storm.
