An open letter to parents (not my own)

After reading Ordinary People I have a different view of parents. I realized from reading the novel how difficult it can be to raise children especially in he wake of tragedy. What I would tell parents is to never give up on you're child because no matter what happens children always need their parents. I would also tell them that parenting is a joint family effort, in order to have a successful, happy family it takes patience and most importantly compromise. Everyone needs to be willing to work together and if they aren't then the family will fall apart. I think in Ordinary People Beth was to concerned with herself to realize the bigger picture and her refusal to compromise led to the Jarrett family becoming separated.
