Broken Angels

For the past 5 or so years, I have been knee-deep in affairs of young adults. I've carried them to practices, eaten meals with them, watched them compete, worshipped with them, prayed with them, sang music loudly in cars with them, taught them how to drive, carried them to doctor's appointments, curled their hair, and so much more. And today, I'm realizing that almost all of the young adults who have allowed me into their lives share one problem. They are all broken in some way. How did our generation raise a generation of broken people? Where did we go wrong and can we fix it? I have no words of advice. I'm seeking words of advice today. I'm looking for answers from young people. I'm wondering what we as parents could have or should have done differently to raise more confident, well-adjusted children? I'm not looking for answers which involve actions such as "they should have been home more". I'm looking for answers like "they should have seen that I was lonely" (if that is the case). Please share your thoughts in the comments. Thank you.
