You son is one lucky boy to have such evolved parents. Ed, thanks for showing us what a stable, emotionally developed man looks like. Thanks for illustrating how important it is to have a RELATIONSHIP with a child, not just a financial responsibility for a child. He'll remember whether you were there or not...not whether you or mom paid for his shoes or his education. Talibah, thank you for giving us a solid example of what it means to respect your partner's point of view. You started the interview (Part 1), by admitting that there are two equally important sides to every story. It takes a great woman to acknowledge that her perspective is only hers - not gospel. You two repeatedly make the point that the key to any relationship is COMMUNICATION - respectfully talking AND listening. This interview is an incredible gift you've given to families everywhere. Incredible job, Venus I am moved by the maturity of both of you. You son is one lucky boy to have such evolved parents.
