Mommy vs. media in sexualization of girls: Where are the dads?

[seabeyond]

56. well, exactly. i wanted to help this woman also.

i really really wanted to. not only for her, but the health of my niece. and it was not going to be had. at that point, the child has to be thought of. my niece will not even talk to her mom. i have talked to nice about it. i wish i was a fly on the wall to better understand. but she was in La. and we were in Tx. the woman was on drugs... hallucinating, carry a gun around thinking she was being spied on. the daughter had to take care of her. not bathed and teased in school. and so much more. we got her for all the visits, and the summer months and the child would block out that time and we couldnt help her. she just wanted to sit in a safe place. it took a lot of years, and a kidnapping before the courts relented.

we cannot assume the mother is going to automatically do their role. what i did learn from this woman, and another that was not their for her kids. just walked. is some women are not nurturing. that is a tough concept for me. and yet, some men are kick ass nurturers. not a gender thing
