Something I worry about sometimes is how I would cope with what a challenging and difficult chart would suggest about me as a parent. I can't imagine what I will do if a child in my care "comes" to me with a chart that to me (or others) suggests "difficult relationship with mother," "difficult homelife/environment," etc. I realize that no parent, especially a mother, is perfect or should expect to be perfect, (or really anything close to it) and I realize that we all have free will, the capability to adapt to trying circumstances and access to the mercy of spirit. But I'm having a hard time dealing with the idea that should I choose parenthood, I will wind up with a child whose chart indicates being raised in deprivation, misery or pain.
