Never comparing is so important for self esteem and self worth in children!

Good, short discussion. Definitely more understanding parents than most in the SA-American community. Not sure if the wife felt stifled or just not interested in having her voice heard??

they never seek help until someone ends up in crisis. Like having a manic episode or tries to harm themselves.
