Interesting how this turned out to be a gaming post by a parent and they wrote about how they became part of the experience. My parents always ignored the games and used the video game stuff as a way to ignore me and keep me home instead of going out and partying as a teenager.
Yes that too is a very valid experience @jamie-smith. You are definitely not alone. Parents use television, computers and videos as babysitters as well. People express their fears and dysfunctions in interesting ways. It truly is up to us parents to change ourselves so this next generation has a chance to really thrive instead of just survive, or up to the next generation in the know that there is something different, to step into their power and make it happen. Hopefully this new generation is not as fearful and limited by conditioning as their parents who often feel powerless to change what they don't even know they can change. I truly appreciate your comment.
