In reply to the discussion: My 15 year old daughters reaction to "Laptop dad" [View all]Mother Of Four
(1,722 posts)I didn't catch the bridge from one to the other. People tend to repeat patterns of control and abuse, that's a simple fact.
I know this is just text and you don't know me from a stranger in the street, but if you can see your way to believe me trust that I'll talk to her about it. Maybe use something like "You know what someone brought up about that post today?" as an opener.
Here's a good page to read about it. http://www.stanford.edu/group/svab/relationships.shtml it's a site for abuse prevention and support.
I could also direct her to the fact that if she really felt the girl "got what she deserved." then why did she change it when I asked her what she would do if she were the dad? No where in there did my daughter state she would do what the girls father did.
If she truly felt the girl deserved to get her laptop shot, then why wouldn't she shoot the laptop herself? Why give it away, or sell it if shooting it was the right thing to do?
I'm always open to talking points.
