[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand what you're saying, really I do.  My parents are and were very good parents.  My siblings are awesome.  But I don't think that negates my empathy or even my basic understanding of human interactions.  I would never suggest that "love is all you need, blah, blah, blah".  [/quote]

It actually does mean you don't know how to handle that situation. There is no other situation like having had terrible parents. You know no more about bad parents than your child-free friend knows about raising an infant.

Empathy and support is great. Your advice is not going to be.[/quote]
So I guess every therapist that deals with these issues comes from an abusive background ?
Come on now !
What is your point? Sometimes folks on tbe outside can give fresh and healthy perspective to those mired in a situation.
I have received great sympathy and advice from those who have not been thru what I have.
Especially if you have been drowning in dysfunction, sometimes someone else needs to help you see what healthy looks like.
So how about you save your directives to those actually personally giving you bad advice. Making blanket statements about what everyone can do is pointless and off base.[/quote]
