Re: The Re-birthing Death of Candace Newmaker
This is what happens when your parents expect entirely too much out of you... so many parents push their kids so hard these days and resort to insanity thinking that will make their child "perfect" enough

Re: The Re-birthing Death of Candace Newmaker
Ya know, me and my baby brothers were adopted and we knew from day one that we were adopted. Granted we're all 36 (me), 29 (my one bro joe) and 26 (my bro Mike). Sad shit is, they found Mike in a paper bag in a dumpster when he was only a few hours old. Thank god he was saved: the man is an exceptional film maker, paranormal investigator and freakin' hystercial comedian today. Joe was with his birth dad (if you will) and the beast would beat him and my parents would get him to foster him. After a while, he'd be sent back to his dad who would beat him more, he'd come back to us wearing shoes so small his little toes were coming out of the ends, and so on. FINALLY we got to adopt him when he was 18 mths old. I don't recall too much of my preadoption days. I do know I was adopted at the age of two and my moms sister had taken care of me for a while before my mom and dad adopted me. No one ever told me the whole story so I'm not sure if the sister is my real mother...... when our adoptive mom (Gerry) died in 84, my dad remarried in 86 and Gerry's sister and family basically disowned us. We haven't really heard from them since. All I'm saying is that adopted or even fostered children may come with issues and fears and so on, but love, patience and honesty usually make them out all right in life. What happened to this little girl........ these asshats got off way to easily. Shoulda been life. |

Re: The Re-birthing Death of Candace Newmaker
Wow. Check out the wikipedia page for attachment therapy. The idea seems to be to abuse the child, forcing it to submit completely to the parents, and to abuse it more if obedience isn't total. Given this, the goal, "attachment", is more akin to Stockholm Syndrome. |
