If I'm missing something

Growing up is tiring, we realized it on our skin in due time. Remembering one's experiences from the top of what we are today, however, makes it all seem sensible, clear, useful. A clear Ariadne's thread in the middle of the storm. Thus the risk of becoming a giver of unsolicited advice is very high. Let's try to remember how little we endured our parents and their advice "because I have been there too", as well as the saddened looks of those who were worried about all our "disturbances". All things that inexorably pushed us to keep everything inside.

In this search for the non-existent recipe for being "top" parents we find a mother who meditated all the "oddities" of her son and kept them in her heart, and a father who dreamed of protecting his family at night from the dangers and then acted accordingly without too many questions. Zero indifference, a lot of empathy in entrusting everything, making people feel deeply "thought" and "wanted", few decisive actions.
