What you and diordiderot are missing is that you made it a personal attack. That's the problem both with your comments and with HN in general - over the years it's become full of personal attacks rather than discussion. Your comment above continues this pattern, extending your argument that I either harbor resentment or that I'm a poor parent and that is the cause of either my ex-wife's or my daughter's many issues. All without knowing me or them, or anything about the situation. Do you see where that is an ungrounded personal attack that has no relation to the discussion? Now, let's perhaps get back to why I made the original observation that I did - it's because when we read an article on teen emotional / mental well-being, we have to assess a lot of factors. In my own family I've witnessed both genetic and environmental factors that have yielded different outcomes. That was the purpose of my original sharing.
