[QUOTE="klmno, post: 339396, member: 3699"] Thanks, Star! In my situation, and I think many others would fit this too, my mother was clueless and damaging whether intentional or not. She was raised differently, in a different era, and in dire poverty. In some ways she overcame a lot but she is very toxic and would rather die than change. Most counselors are just scratching the surface with this type of problem, although there have been a very small percentage specially trained who get it. But some of us who were raised in situations like this found ways to learn about it, overcome it as best we can, and try to do better with our own kids. We can't fix it all in one generation but we do get it and are trying to break that cycle or be the turning point. Since the mental health professionals, for the most part, are just now catching up to the problems of the generation I described above, they are treating us all like we are the parents who are clueless and keeping all this going. At least this has been my experience and I have found it more than a little frustrating. I'm very interested in learning what this author's opinions and suggestions are. [/QUOTE]
