What a revelation... and so true! I am deeply moved and humbled by your article. For a long time I "fixed" and "helped" one of my children who struggled with life. I thought this was my duty as a "good" and loving mother - to see that she had a good life. I couldn't understand why nothing I did made her feel better or changed her outlook and self-esteem for the better. I see now that my actions were having just the opposite effect on her. Your article has inspired me.

So your problem is that it does not copy your theology?
