I recently learned that a co-worker's husband had been arrested and spent time in prison, for a pretty foul crime, some years back - when it happened, she sat her three kids down, the youngest being like 5, and basically said, "do not let this change who you are or who you will become", and a bunch of other wise things that thoroughly impressed me. Instead of dwelling on how crappy life was at the time, and how crappy it was likely to become,, like most would, she knew she had to act in her children's best interest for the moment, and the future. The youngest is now 14, and all three kids are thriving because of how she dealt with a sh!tty sitation.
