Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Happiness is a choice, not a consequence. Regardless of most of life's circumstances, we have the power to choose how we regard the circumstances and what we learn from them.
Remember parents that it is not the job of our children to make us happy.

A Poem from Unknown sources
Children learn what they live
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world
