Very inspiring. As a parent of a rebellious 22 year old, your commentary opened my mind. The problem was probably not my daughter but me. I was trying to hold on as long as I could for fear of loosing her in a very "dangerous world" or perhaps my perception of it. I had fun and crazy times when I was 22 and I feel i am being selfish for not letting her explore what the real world has for her. I will always remember 'Your children will be my revenge'. That alone put me at ease for I know she will eventually understand the reason for my actions and reactions. Thank you for answering the hidden question that is on my mind 24/7, "why is she punishing me like this?" I just have to let go. More power to your show!!!
