Reader's Digest 6月号の記事、TALES OF A TIGER MOTHERは、米国人男性と結婚し、二人の娘を育てた中国人（系？）の女性がその育児や躾について本を書いたところ大きな反響があり、その著者へのインタビュー記事です。
I wonder if some of the permissive parents who are criticising me are even close to their kids. My kids have been 100 percent supportive. There were some very harsh words directed at me. And it's because of my children and my husband, my parents and sisters, that I was able to pull through. In some ways, I think this is evidence in favour of how I've raised my kids that they supported me so well.
難しい単語はもちろん苦手ですが、この "pull through." の様な基本的な単語を組み合わせた口語的な連語はさらに苦手です。 辞書で意味を調べます。

英単語・イデオムが分からない、中々覚えられないのは、私にとっては困難な状況ですが、 I will never be able to pull through this situation. でしょう。
