[quote=Anonymous]That seems to be the kind of thing you say when you're terrified your child won't make good choices for the right reasons (personal integrity, care for self and others) so you try to deter them with a big consequence . . . I'll disown you! I believe that even the worst humans are still humans who are just very broken. I can have some degree of compassion for them, for the good life they never got to experience by some combination of nature and nurture. So no, I can't imagine disowning a child, but I'm sure I would be heartbroken if they did something unthinkable. If your child is an addict or abuser then you may need serious boundaries that might include not seeing your child if they can't meet your conditions. But I think there would be always be the hope that you could open that door again at a later time.[/quote]
