My grandmother was raised by her grandmother, and I was raised by my grandmother. My Mom was a single parent in the 60's, and was always at work. As an parent, you pull yourself up by the bootstraps, get help if needed, and get over your childhood by any means necessary. If one cannot pull it together, they need to give the child to someone who will give them a fighting chance. Attached or not- no excuse, imo.
Completely agree. People can have dysfunctional childhood experiences and still turn out to be great parents.
