"Your defining act of love for your child will not be the 2:00 A.M. feedings, the sleepless, fretful night spent beside him in the hospital, or the second job you took to pay for college. Your zenith will occur in the face of a withering blast of frightening rage from your adolescent, in allowing no rage from yourself in response. Your finest moment may well be your darkest. And you will be a parent.

Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your Mind"
