Parents have one duty which is also their one privilige: to preserve the freedom of the soul, with which their child was born. This takes protection and nourishment till they are mature (at 21ish) to take full responsibility for their soul themselves (though we all should feel responsible for eachother's soul-well being beyond all blood bonds and at all ages, on-goingly - not to be confused with controlling people's minds and manners). You fly the flag for this in all you write and in all your parenting.
