MADIson survived this 60-year+ societal/systemic abuse

it’s been common knowledge since the Kramer Vs Kramer film in the 1960s/1970s

it’s been willfully ignored while the targetted parents lead the work – 1st with paper and as the internet came along with support groups, campaigns, pressure groups. Still they willfully ignored the obvious

Now we now have social media channels & it’s the grown children who are able to tell those f**kers that it was not OK to extend their careers, cases under the lie of “best interests of the child”

I can’t not share it, no matter how conflicted I may be with that decision.

There’s no right way, damned if do, damned if don’t 🙂 Kinda used to that 🙂

I have my own issues I’m (obviously) dealing with. I’ve known for a long time that my childhood made me super-vulnerable to these types of relationships, but it wasn’t soon enough.

Break the pattern, otherwise we’ll be relegated to trying to help your kids break the pattern.

If you’re wondering – clearly warned parent what was happening, with empathy & understanding, and impacts & consequences upon inevitable discovery yet still chose that path despite repeated begging not to go there. “Sad” doesn’t cover 0.001% of it.

I chose you. She chose this. “It’s not about me !!” So glad the child’s view is finally becoming available
