That might be a good reason, if this is something you fear (Daniel), to get a reference as to someone who has an even better than good reputation. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

privy to information?
A therapist I went to called the Dept. of Social Services to report abuse.
By law, the therapist had to, and pointed that out to me. But, this is in Massachusetts. I don't know about the laws in other states. 'Kate wrote in message ...

Hi Joelle
Hang in there, because YOU have the right idea - so many parents who "have a talk" with their kids (or their partner) in reality just have a "this is why I am right and you are wrong" session that only serves to let their child know that the parent is really only interested in justifying their own view. As you so rightly point out, while the child may "agree" with the parent during one of these sessions, it is generally a 'forced' agreement where disagreeing is labled as stupid or imature or 'not loving' the parent etc and agreement with the parent is seen as 'coming to ones senses' or such. What these sessions actually accomplish is to teach the child to shut up and keep their ideas to themselves.

Well then if your goal was for her to let you know that she knows how wrong she is, you were successful. Congratulations.
