What a terribly sad story. It reminds me of parents of a little tyrant who instead of setting a limit, simply allow the tyrant to always have his way. Chaos ensues. I think Robert Moore the Jungian Analyst called these people "highchair tyrants." Well named. So now we have a country filled with highchair tyrants and no men and fathers to set the limit. Hmmm I wonder how that is going to turn out?

Thanks Janice for bringing this to light. It's important to hear this sort of thing and to start to develop strategies to deal with these um, folks.
