[quote=Anonymous]You don’t parent unless they come to you for comfort, for advice, or for help. And even then, it’s cue-driven comfort, advice, and help: you come from a place of respect, curiosity, recognition for who they are as a person. For example, my brother was raised Catholic but is now an atheist. My mom will only frame comfort and help as prayers and intercessions. So he rejects that and comes to me and my sister when, say, one of his friends dies. My mom cannot be trusted to offer love and comfort from a place of respect for who my brother is…so he doesn’t come to her. [/quote]
