Anna Nicole Smith's Baby and Generational Repeat

[Willard Gerard]

The events and circumstances surrounding our birth affect us
throughout our lives, and repeat generation after generation. That's
just the way it is. It's like that for you. It's like that for me, and
it's like that for Dannielyn.
Tomorrow the Bahamian courts will begin to evaluate the custody of
Dannielyn, and then make a crucial decision about the fate of this 6
month old baby, born to Anna Nicole Smith. now deceased. While the
public remains glued to the television screens, anticipating the
expected outcome, questions will surface about the role of
grandparents, and fathers in child rearing.
While the public expects the fate of child rearing, to be decided by
the courts, the ultimate outcome will be decided by the relationship
between the caregivers. The acceptance of this outcome, will affect
this child throughout her life. If Vergie, the grandmother,and, Larry
the father stay cooperative, life for Dannielyn will be better, then
if they do not. All of which brings me to a very key point about the
impact of "birth", and how it affects us, throughout our lives. From
the moment of birth, this baby has been thrown into the eyes of the
public. Beginning with the death of her brother, the death of her
mother, the unanswered questions about paternity, the wealth
dispursement of her mother's former husband Howard Marshall, and the
role of grandparents in raising children, questions have swirled
around this baby.
If I possessed a crystal ball, I would presume that when this child
grows up, and has children of her own, one will die, and another will
be born with questions about paternity surrounding it. If the
grandparents and parents, expect differences to arise between them,
and agree to disagree, the child will fare better, then if they don't.
If they don't, we can expect Danielyn to have children, with disputes
between grandparents, and parents, and these issues will be duplicated
from one generation to the next.
We are destined to repeat that which we don't accept or understand,
until we learn to accept it, or understand it.
Parents involved in custody disputes would benefit by understanding
generational repeat. It's more then the actual decisions that are made
in court about where, and who should assume custody, that affect
children, its also about how these decisions occur. It's about the
relationships between these ongoing relationships. Generations repeat.
It's like that for you. It's like that for me, and it's like that for
Danielyn. It's just the way it is.
