    As I get older, I see so much in life in a different perspective. Looking back I wonder whether I could have made some better decisions as a person.

Their treatment greatly affected their lives and the way they became functioning adults. However, they did have at least one parent who was a good parent, their father Yutch. While the mother, Florence, is always absent and avoiding her responsibilities. The story demonstrates what good or bad parenting can impact children.…
