Every Child Has A Legitimate Narcissistic Need

I Sincerely Believe That We Not Only Have The Right To Know What Is Good And What Is Evil; We Have The Duty To Acquire That Knowledge If We Hope To Assume Responsibility For Our Own Lives And Those Of Our Children. Only By Knowing The Truth Can We Be Set Free.

The Commandment To Refrain From Placing Blame On Our Parents, Deeply Imprinted In Us By Our Upbringing, Skillfully Performs The Function Of Hiding Essential Truths From Us.

The Art Of Not Experiencing Feelings. A Child Can Experience Her Feelings Only When There Is Somebody There Who Accepts Her Fully, Understands Her, And Supports Her. If That Person Is Missing, If The Child Must Risk Losing The Mother's Love Of Her Substitute In Order To Feel, Then She Will Repress Emotions.

The Abused Children Are Alone With Their Suffering, Not Only Within The Family, But Also Within Themselves. They Cannot Crate A Place In Their Own Soul Where They Could Cry Their Beart Out.

Children Who Are Respected Learn Respect. Children Who Are Cared For Learn To Care For Those Weaker Than Themselves. Children Who Are Loved For What They Are Cannot Learn Intolerance. In An Environment Such As This, They Will Develop Their Own Ideals, Which Can Be Nothing Other Than Humane, Since They Grew Out Of The Experience Of Love.
