Disrespect Is The Weapon Of The Weak

If A Mother Respects Both Herself And Her Child From His Very First Day Onward, She Will Never Need To Teach Him Respect For Others.

It Is Possible To Resolve Childhood Repression Safely And Without Confusion - Something That Has Always Been Disputed By The Most Respected Schools Of Thought.

The Knowledge That You Were Beaten And That This, As Your Parents Tell You, Was For Your Own Good May Well Be Retained (although Not Always), But The Suffering Caused By The Way You Were Mistreated Will Remain Unconscious And Will Later Prevent You From Empathizing With Others. This Is Why Battered Children Grow Up To Be Mothers And Fathers Who Beat Their Offspring

The Truth About Childhood, As Many Of Us Have Had To Endure It, Is Inconceivable, Scandalous, Painful. Not Uncommonly, It Is Monstrous. Invariably, It Is Repressed. To Be Confronted With This Truth All At Once And To Try To Integrate It Into Our Consciousness, However Ardently We May Wish It, Is Clearly Impossible.

It Is Precisely Because A Child's Feelings Are So Strong That They Cannot Be Repressed Without Serious Consequences. The Stronger A Prisoner Is, The Thicker The Prison Walls Have To Be, Which Impede Or Completely Prevent Later Emotional Growth.
