Absolutely. It takes a major life event to change your attitude. Mine was a blessing in disguise. I used to be miserably shy and negative. My family and finances got torn to shreds because I trusted people. What faith I had (and the faith people had in me) was crushed and I thought I would die. No joke. I got through it and became a positive thinking, faithful, strong woman. My health even improved and I quit several addictions as well.

I am a Zoroastrian by faith and belong to a small community called the Parsis. I am quite liberal in my thinking on many matters, but I did hold certain "orthodox" views, particularly in respect of my children's choice of life partners. And I secretly hoped my children would marry within the community. I had kept this view to myself and not voiced it to them; and in retrospect I'm glad I hadn't. My son brought home a non-Parsi female colleague one evening, a nice, quiet, rather shy girl; and over time I saw their "friendship" actually grow into love. It's a great feeling to see your children in love, Milly, and I said to myself, what a lovely girl he's chosen, and I'm so glad I did not impose any "restriction" on his choice. They married in December 2007, and I now have TWO daughters, both of whom I look upon equally. Too many parents interfere too much in their children's lives resulting in a lot of needless acrimony. I'm very glad I had this 180-degree turnaround in "attitude". It's all part of our own "growing up", I suppose.
