So true Kelly. I would suggest that if a parent does a reasonably good job of instilling the process of right and wrong, consequences for actions, don't follow the heard, and think before you act into their children that even when faced with situations and areas neither has the experience or knowledge for, there just might be the old "transference of skills" and one or the other might realize they need to seek out an expert (like Kelly ) before they make their big decision.

And I can attest from my own situation you do that better than anyone I know and in a manner that is of a teacher and not a lecturer. Have I said thank you lately?

Sadly these are the ones that all we can offer is hope and prayers that things will turn out OK.
