Good catch, first time I've heard of that. She makes a good point re CPS: they by law must investigate all complaints, and the complaints can be lodged anonymously. Next time you're at a family gathering, ask your relatives who teach what they think about homeschooling.

Wow. I'd like to see some of the wonkish stuff about this socalled enmeshment being pathological. Attachment of the child to parents is a most wonderful and natural thing, and anybody who finds it abnormal, must be a freak themselves.

The concerned parent as abuser, guilty of care and involvement. hahah that's the ultimate for these people. Must be their holy grail, to get that term widely accepted for describing parent-child relationships. Guilty of neglect by not being neglectful. Full-circle black-as-white. If i was a kike I'd get a hard-on.

Pardon the tangent but here's an article where the writer is trying to resurrect a Kaplan's term, originally describing congo-bongo niggers' antics in their old world, for use in describing the New Orleans situation. http://www.nysun.com/article/19620 "re-primitivized man". Blacks aren't "primitive", they're being forced back down into that state by whitey, republicans, what have you. Quote:

Great article. I notice that "enmeshment" has something in common with Freud's Oedipus complex theory, namely it casts suspicion on close parent-child bonding.
Another great observation made in the article regards the total obsession with being "normal" and the faith placed in the opinions of experts promising to deliver "normality". Quote:

Sick...
They mention the CPS, and on that note I must say; I do think a parent should be allowed to smack their kids on reasonable grounds, because I would be pretty uncivilised if my parents haven't 'reprimanded' me in such a way when I was a kid. But if my parents hadn't also given me a certain degree of freedom, I would have turned out like everyone else in ways that aren't a good thing; having a tendency not to take (most) people's words for things, for example, which is probably the best survival trait I ever acquired. But, anyone, ANYONE who thinks a parent should be allowed to smack their kids to the point of injury, pretty much deserves to be skinned and thrown down a water-tube full of envenomed razor-blades. I am quite serious. In an ideal world, that's what would happen to rock spiders as well. But what powers, exactly, do CPS have in your country? Does it vary from state to state, or is it legislated federally...??? |
