Raging storm

I don't think that anyone expects to hear a grown child angrily yell at his or her parents that they are responsible for the messed up life they live or hear specific charges in the crassest terms available that the parents failed at some of the basic duties in his/her upbringing.


The scene was a storm of words by the child - total outrage.  The father tried to speak to say that the memories presented didn't represent his own memory of the particular situations.  The mother was taken completely off-guard, but managed to say she was sorry the child felt so strongly about her bad memories and apologized for the less than 20/20 vision in raising her child.

Storms pass, most of the time without damage, and usually come again from predictable directions.  But it's still a shame that a child would vent such venom against those who so lovingly cared for her during the time when a child has little memory.
