Having written a lot about narcissistic and dysfunctional families, I spent some time considering what a ‘healthy’ family might be like, and came up with the following set of values:
you demonstrate that unconditional love is the source of the health. I love this idea for a family dynamic. It's harsh to hear the truth. However, you say it beautifully. It kind of puts Freud's family dynamic in the harsh light it deserves. Brilliant and compassionate.
I so wish this type of (healthy) parenting style was taught in schools. I love the part about the parent encouraging the child to outgrow them. THAT and this article are brilliant!!
