In some ways, she's more effective, and in some ways less- but she's her, and she gets where she needs to go. Growing up, I didn't have the luxury of parents who understood those differences, and it's left a few scars. So I completely agree with you- what you say is very true.
With RDM, I kind of get the impression that's he's always been a very involved and connected dad, and is tuned into to his kids' personalities and what they respond best to.
Still, it's good to remember to walk a mile in someone else's shoes, right?  |
Oh, I have no doubt thar RD is a great dad. My comments are just meant as cautionary.
I'm not at all suggesting that the kids be allowed to become codependent or not do their chores or anything of the sort. But like I said, not everyone copes the same way and by definition depression and ptsd can make normal daily tasks very hard. And yes, kids are kids, they are not adults, and no, you shouldn't expect of kids what you expect of adults.
