So if you were to compare that the to driving of the car, I would say that perhaps they are normally good drivers, but have the occasional bump and even perhaps participate in courses to improve their skill?

My mom is a great parent.. the best mom in the world. But when she watched my dad physically hurting me, she made a mistake. She learned from it and now she is calling him every now and then when he's yelling at me a bit too much. It's a bit late (I'm 21), but better late than never.
