I was listening to DR. LAURA C. SCHLESSINGER out of Detroit, https://wjr.com/article.asp?id=142275

Anyway, before you start making assumptions I just want to say that she said something that I feel most people, especially people having kids, need to hear.

She was having a conversation with a Grandmother who's Grandson that had visited her for the weekend did not want to go back home with his Mother and her live-in boyfriend. Dr. Laura started probing the Grandma about why it could be that a 8yo boy would not want to see his own Mother or go back to his own home. The Grandmother could offer no plausible reason.

Dr. Laura then told her that it was her resonsibility to find out why he isn't seeking the nurturing of his own Mom in his own house. The Grandma asked "Why?" The Doctor then responded by saying, "Every 8yo boy and girl looks for nurturing and attention from their parents, and if they can't get it from them, they could very well find it from the pedophile living down the street".

I don't agree with Dr. Laura about a LOT of things, but I think she hit the bullseye on this one. I wish she was broadcasting when my parents were raising me.

Yup, I agree with you about Dr. Laura, and about what she said. Once in a while tho, she comes up with something that is profound. Something she said (I don't even remember what now) was responsible for me stopping to think where I was going to end up if I didn't take some action regarding my struggle with the memories of SA.

Regarding her comment about the kid looking for affirmation from the pedophile down the street, that's where I got into trouble as a child.

Thanks for the post.

Lots of love,

John
 
My brother started molesting me when my parents were in the process of getting a divorce, my mother was off getting her masters degree at night and roughly around the time I lost 2 of my 3 remaining grandparents. I was looking for someone to help and my brother dished his own brand out.
 
Hauser,

I see a different peril here. The kid doesn't want to go back home because he's afraid of Mom's new boyfriend. The pedophile may already be right there in the house.

Much love,
Larry
 
Larry,

spot on, I thought the woman was going to say just that.

All kids crave nurturing from their parents,
