Of COURSE it has happened to (most of us) and I believe it doesn't stop until we "let go" and hand it go God and (in adulthood), when we may not have our parents to tell us who is "good for us and bad"; become a good parent to ourselves by staying close to God and knowing when/if those close to us are also. On my path, I may be discriminating, but I tend to go the route of feeling more comfortable with those who live in a way that cherishes life and humanity. And you do so by sharing not just a positive message but a pragmatic one as well. Love to you and yours.
