A thought.
There is no guide for properly raising children. No matter how amazing and well-meaning the parents are, they are going to make mistakes that lead to the child having various issues and problems as he grows up. These problems can range from annoying/mild to severe depending on the situation.
Additionally, there is no guide on how to lead a rich and fulfilling life. You are going to make mistakes and end up in situations that will be difficult to recover from.
Finally, we can't control what happens to us and we will deal with situations that "damage" us and make us flawed in some way.
With all of the above factors combined, every person is guaranteed to be flawed in a variety of ways.
The important takeaway here is realizing that no matter how ideal of a life you have had thus far, you have issues and you need to be self-aware and humble enough to acknowledge them and deal with them as well as you can.

Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
