And the point I want to get to is that Shira and her husband have to be more empathetic to themselves. I think they're being hard on themselves and understanding that, hey, it's up to you, too. And you may not know what the answers are.

Yeah. But I think people have to be careful not to parent out of guilt. That's right. And what I worry about, or I would caution Shira, is to, when you do make that choice, whatever the choice is, don't parent them like you've hurt their feelings.
