Parenting conflicts

My family has had its share of internal conflicts since the birth of my son.  In part it was due to the stress of having a premature baby and also the precarious health of my wife.

Why bring this up?
- for my therapy
- to help others.  While I talked to many friends and people about my family's problems, I may have been looking in the wrong places but there were not many online resources during my darkest time.  

Why not to bring this up?  Why don't  others talk about it?
- reflects badly on others or self
- don't want to appear whiny or not as devoted parent

Rather than a less positive structure, I will frame my problems or past issues in terms of thanksgivings, for the silver lining around each storm cloud.
