A new book by Greta Thunberg’s mother reveals the reality of family life during her daughter’s transformation from bullied teenager to climate icon
One evening in the autumn of 2014, Svante and I sat slumped on our bathroom floor in Stockholm. It was late, the children were asleep. Everything was starting to fall apart around us. Greta was 11, had just started fifth grade, and was not doing well. She cried at night when she should be sleeping. She cried on her way to school. She cried in her classes and during her breaks, and the teachers called home almost every day. Svante had to run off and bring her home to Moses, our golden retriever. She sat with him for hours, petting him and stroking his fur. She was slowly disappearing into some kind of darkness and little by little, bit by bit, she seemed to stop functioning. She stopped playing the piano. She stopped laughing. She stopped talking. And she stopped eating.

The founder of the evil religion islam had similar experiences in a cave. He didn’t know if they were good or evil. (His wife convinced him they were good, but discussing the parallels to Eve will side-track this thread.)
Greta is mentally ill and has been exploited by radicals to push their climate change agenda with the cooperation and support of her parents. This is sick.
“I have observed what I call “imposed autism” in children where the mother was pure evil, suppressing the child’s emotional expression.”
We call it Mom made.
It is mostly prevalent with low income moms who are looking for SS disability on their kids as income. I’ve seen is half a dozen time while working with the schools over the years. They usually get away with it too.
Cuckoo, cuckoo.
Can you say “child abuse” ? Naah, just use a mentally ill and disturbed child to push the leftist genocidal plan to eliminate 95% of humanity.
I’ve dealt with clients who have Aspergers/some form of Autism-but as a workers comp case manager, only a few, since many employers are unwilling to hire them for a number of reasons-so they don’t end up with work-related injuries—but Greta’s parents-mostly her mother-fit the definition of Munchausen by proxy-a parent using their child’s disability-or creating one-by making the child sick/worse to get attention-and sometimes financial gain-for themselves-it is all about them.
It is straight up child abuse-in a sane world, Greta would have been removed from her parents’ home as soon as someone saw her screaming for hours and not eating for days-I can’t imagine that no one did-now this young woman is acting like she is some demon’s spawn with the potential for murder-those parents belong in prison instead of continuing to exploit their mentally ill daughter...
they’re disgusting
but honest, even if it’s in a cute way like a youtube video, i don’t like to see kids on the right or left used for politics
it’s not THEIR views if they’re under 18 most of the time.
let them figure it out first before getting them likely unwanted and dangerous attention
Try special ed. Hello? Autism can be treated with medication and therapy, not by making the kid the spokesperson for a bunch of lunatics.
Oh, I was precocious. I was very political by the time I was 12, but not due to anything from my parents. I was disgusted by the tactics my school engaged in to support corrupt Demonrats. And that was back in 1986.
Totally agree with your comments.
They miss being center stage as they don’t have the talent, so they live through Greta. There is a lot of bad parenting here.
Incredible, sad testimony from her mother.
Of course, no one on the left is interested.
They only want to use this child, like they use the “transgendered” children.
