• Perhaps they are angry at some of the choices you have made
• Perhaps they think they can control your decision making
• Perhaps addiction or mental health challenges prevent a parent from being able to express love to their child.

• A parent can drive their child from the home by creating an environment of chaos, deprivation, and hostility.

• College, tech school, and career training are all available to women who parent a child
