I’ll bet these same parents are concerned about their precious darling’s self-esteem too.

It emerges that in part these stem from Claire's frustration about not knowing her father.

People with out-of-control lives are more likely to end up with out-of-control children.

If one doesn’t have external control over their child by the time the child is two or three; the child will not have internal control over themselves. This behavior stems from sparing the rod and spoiling the child.

BTW, in the UK a woman's "partner" can mean either her live-in boyfriend or her live-in girlfriend.

She is not necessarily a homosexual.

In a just society, a son who laid violent hands on his mother would be flogged publicly.

Of course, his mother - by living with a man who doesn't respect her enough to make her his wife - has zero self-respect. It is unsuprising that her son has no respect for her either - but that should make him sad, not violent.

I don’t need to read past the first two or three sentences. The first time either of my teenagers tried something like that would be the LAST time, one way or another.

Parents have God-given authority to control their children, and I take that seriously.

This world is going insane.
