What are the essential things we model and teach others? How does that speak to our core selves? Intriguing questions. Curious to hear your thoughts on all this. What is the greatest thing your parents taught you- consciously or not?
I don't know how to answer this question.
The greatest thing my parents taught me is how to live your life in poverty and despair. They taught me how to be rude and obnoxious and unkind. To only care about yourself and the well being of your own mental health. They taught me hundreds of ways not to live your life and in doing that, they created... I don't know, a drive to do better for myself, to live healthier and raise my children in a loving home, to treat people with respect and to have some sort of dignity. Although I don't really work as hard to get those things anymore, its always in the back of my mind.
Thats really all I have to say.

I think this is profound and touching. You are a person who has been borne out of such painful times and have emerged to become a loving, caring individual.
