Re: Carrying a Guilt

[Anonymous]

I understand…….maybe shaming was a parenting skill (if I may misuse the word)……from another time. There were other disciplines used from bygone era’s, as well…….such as use of the cane or switch to dish out corporal punishment. Some were physically cruel, others mentally cruel……it was most likely due to ignorance, not sadistic intentions. Past harsh parenting tools and their effects, have been re-evaluated and new tools/skills are now available to those who seek them. I understand also that some tools from the past, while best intentioned left scars, some deep……sad but true. Healing is maybe required to reduce the impact of such “good deeds”…imposed by such “responsible parents”. Lessons learned by each new generation should assist in development of the next generation……if we indeed recognize, learn and practice…………and heal…….ourselves.

My question is…..Is that not our……”raison d’etre”…..?????
