There are many books and articles on parenting that are very helpful Wibby and it's never too late to change how we parent.

The rift is there with or without articles like this I'm afraid, this just explains why the rift exists.

I didnt find it at all helpful, in fact it really made me angry! Being a parent is a learning experience, there are no rule books we learn as we go along. We are all different in the waywe raise our children. That article is just damning parents and can cause more harm than good! it can cause a rift between parent and child.

Often these types of articles don't tell you how to heal but it does help me in 2 ways:

1. That my experience was emotionally abusive, not just the obvious stuff but the everyday things too.

2. How easy it is to damage my own children and behaviours I need to avoid.

Here is the article I read this morning (hopefully the link works)
