w.o.w. – twisted parenting is not for every type of child; But the child you’re describing is the perfect candidate. Though you may be feeling that you are not being “FAIR” to your other children, keep in mind FAIR doesn’t always mean EQUAL. Fair means giving each child what he/she NEEDS and right now your son NEEDS you more than the others. I’m not saying to neglect your other children but if they are normal HEALTHY children, they will understand. It seems I need to remind you of something.
Your child is sick and is in grave danger! But what is the SINGLE BIGGEST DANGER TO HIM RIGHT NOW? Drugs? Alcohol? Bad friends?
Those are certainly all terrible things, however the single biggest threat to his future is:
YOU!
Why? Because you have the DEEPEST ACCESS to his very being!
Believe it or not, you have a tremendous power over him FOR GOOD OR BAD; lets try to use this power to heal him.
