No, not really.
Personally, I’d rather a
parent express themselves to some degree than say nothing or be doped up on
pills, so they sleep most of the time.
Neglect and lack of
conversation, gives a child no feedback or understanding, especially if that family
is located in a country area that also lacks the community input cities have.
I would like parents to have
empathetic helpful professionals to talk through harsh economic circumstances,
grief and trauma with, so they don’t have to use their children for this
purpose. I don’t want parents fearing that if they try to talk things through
with a professional they’ll be forced to take harmful psychiatric drugs, that
mean they may not be able to care or communicate with their children because of
the sedative effects etc.
People react to circumstances,
they are not computers. Even simple life like the bacteria that lives within
humans adapts, responds and changes to circumstances. Humans are not bacteria, or computers. We are not the fruit-flies scientists experiment on you gain 'insight' into human nature!
When scientists claim new
genes are found for this and that, I’m totally sceptical. They’ve been claiming
for years, with support from gonzo journalists that they’ve mapped bipolar and
schizophrenia, when what they’ve really done is found hundreds of genes that
they think could quite possible be bipolar or schizophrenia, or maybe possibly
the gene that enables bad science and journalists that co-operate with these profitable
lies.
I think journalists that don’t
sort out scams, are as bad as the journalists that promoted a woman, 20 years
ago, in a country-town newspaper, who claimed royal heritage and other
bollocks, in order to get money from gullible want-to-be mothers who wished their
children to learn ‘cat walk techniques’. My mother was sharp and picked her
straight away as a scammer. Laughed at her ridiculous claims, while a whole lot
of doped up people in the town put their money into her non-existent modelling school.
Now, my mother did get angry on
a regular basis, due to economic circumstances and trauma. But she did communicate and that was much
better than silence. My father was way too silent and that was awful. But he
had his reasons as well, which were due to social circumstances beyond his
control. Children need stimulation. Most people do. This is what psychiatrists
don’t understand. Being in the low stimulus ward in psych hospitals is very horrible
and damaging. Having your mind shut-down by drugs means that you can’t even
entertain yourself.
So, please scientists, discover
that 'bad-science gene' and I’ll be interested to read what journalists report
about it. But don’t attack mothers who are under difficult circumstances and
need support!
