I think for most parents, our main fears involve forces we have no control over. One of my sorority sisters has a child with a rare, genetic disease. It's terminal and takes the life of the child between ages 8-12. The child goes blind, loses control of their body, and slowly dies. THAT scares me. I just hug Max every time I think about it.

I agree with this list in addition to being strung out on drugs and/or alcohol(not experimenting with drugs/alcohol but addicted), and bad car accidents/terminal illnesses. My eldest step son is a 17 year old driver and I worry about him constantly getting in a wreck.
