Right where I want you

I thought I had an unconventional, and reasonably difficult upbringing; until, yes it took a movie; until I watched Surfwise yesterday. The problem with living with someone or a couple who want to live outside the norm, or raise children with their exclusive world view, is that it's just that, it's theirs and therefore, it is subjective and usually inflexible until after the fact, when they mature enough to see that they really didn't need to have been that dogmatic or serious. And, then, of course it's too late, damage is done, and the next generation is sure to be mired in the dismantling of how and why so that they can figure out ways to rise above, or just manage to live with their circumstances.
