People burdened with neglectful or even abusive parents start out at a great disadvantage and often pass that disadvantage along to the next generation.<BR/><BR/>But the opposite is usually just as true. The "blessings of the parents" are also passed down to the 3rd and 4th generation. People blessed with wonderful parents so often pass along good parenting and a wonderful start to their kids.<BR/><BR/>We should all thank God for wonderful parents!
