@coliver I saw a lot of good kids with shitty parents and a lot of bad kids with great parents. Sometimes it's not up to you
It's like the example of the alcoholic father, there are plenty of people that had alcoholic parents that either became alcoholics themselves or used it as a driving force to never become an alcoholic themselves. Everyone is their own person, sure we may be predisposed to certain things but at the end of the day we're each our own person still and make our own choices.
Yeah. My brother and I were raised by the same parents. I never got in trouble, did drugs, stole, any of that stuff. My brother did it all. Same nurture, different nature.
Each person has their own path, with their own experiences that molds us into the people that we are at any point in time. Every interaction, every thought, every decision, keeps pushes us into who we were, who we are, and who we're going to be.
My desire to be a 'good person' or 'honest', however you want to put it, comes from absolute selfishness. I am extremely hard on myself and if I do the wrong thing knowing what the right thing to do in a situation is, the guilt is a heavy weight on me. I try to avoid that at all costs and fortunately it points me in the right direction.

Serial killers have the opposite mindset. Nothing weighs on them, or bothers them.
So I guess you're in decent mental shape.

I do the same to myself as well. I hold myself to a high degree of expectations morally, personally, and professionally. If I'm not giving it all, then I am leaving "stuff on the table" if you will. I want to give it my all all of the time. If I do something against my conscience, then I am hard on myself and depressed because I not only let myself down, but also my family, which is why I do it all for.

I'd say I'm not terrible but not great either. Somewhere in the middle most of the time.

My daughter just turned 1 in July. It's been one of the most fun and rewarding things I've done. Even sitting up with her for the night with her screaming wasn't the terrible experience that everyone made it out to be.
It's true. It's well worth it. Just need that extra coffee in the morning is all.
If I could... I'd start with something stronger.... but..
