People seem to have a problem letting other people find the solution that is right for their own families, one that fits their personalities, goals, wishes and situation.

I think that is true in general, but I would phrase it thusly:

Many people feel threatened when a person’s life choices do not conform to their own — or are perceived as ‘threats’ to their own decisions, by virtue of being different from their choices.

This holds for people on the left as well as those on the right. The bottom issue here is always (for me): so why should you care what someone else does with their life?
