[QUOTE="keista, post: 527775, member: 11965"] in my opinion the fine line between controlling and correcting or sending on the right track or what ever you want to call good parenting is intention. If the intention is to have someone become independent, then it's good parenting. If the intention is to keep a child doing whatever it is you want them to be doing, then it's just controlling and manipulating. [I][B]THAT[/B][/I] kind of parenting can push a child to drugs because it is emotionally abusive, SO if controlling moms are a factor, they need to be addressed. Good moms who are doing anything and everything they can to get their kids to be independent, may recognize some controlling mom actions in themselves, but should know that although the action is the same, the intention is not. From the outside looking in, it's hard to tell the difference. [/QUOTE]
