[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry for all the pps who had to live with abuse. I also want to apologize if I brought back memories. my post was about regular circumstances, not situations where there is a clear and tangible benefit to the child. I was thinking about a developmental appropriate separation. I remember certain things from childhood, such as you can’t sit on your uncle’s lap when you’re all boobs and butt, even when he’s your favorite uncle. No one ever put it to me that way, but when I think back I realize that the adults around kept me safe (luckily) and I wasn’t even aware of it. Emotional dependency happens to kids, and they need to break free. Parents need to help with that. Some kids need a little push. I think in the case I was talking about it’s serving the parents, especially the father (not in a sexual way) and I still think it’s not appropriate. I’m not saying that the father has sinister intentions, but I don’t think anyone grows up saying “I’m gonna abuse my kids when I grow up.” We as adults need to model good behavior and healthy attachment/detachment. [/quote] You’re entitled to your opinion. But I disagree with all of this. You also don’t get to decide what’s good/bad behavior ans what appropriate attachment is.[/quote]
