Comment on Recovery Strategy #04: Play Offense by Bobby

Thank you for your post. I really like your reference to moving the ball forward. Getting caught in “the devastation trap” is easy to do. Since much of the abuse suffered usually causes feelings of helplessness, victims have a hard time overcoming obstacles. Moving the ball forward takes a certain amount of confidence. This needs to be restored before moving forward is possible. Thanks again for your insights.

Comment on There Is No Happily Ever After For Some Fallen Princesses by Cesar Gamez

Here is what my friend Susan wrote on my facebook:
“My husband and I have always been leery of the perfect Disney-type world and the expectations absorbed from it. Kids used to aspire to be astronauts, firefighters, doctors, nurses, police officers, etc. Our girls (principally the second one) have informed us that they want to be a princess so they don’t have to do any work. (This said after they had to do some chores.) So much for the ol’ work ethic, huh?

After our daughter’s grand announcement of their aspiration, we had the opportunity to share a little lesson on the expectations of REAL princesses, which are actually quite high. We Googled images of princesses and saw that they don’t always wear beautiful gowns and some of them are, in fact, quite ugly!

I have no objection to little girls dressing up as princesses, but I believe it is a parental responsibility to ground our children in reality while giving them dreams to soar.”
