So the question of 'why don't the parents notice' has to be considered in the context of the family's development. This is deep stuff and there are no easy answers, and I'm not suggesting parent-blaming here. I'm suggesting that there are millions of elements that lead to the severe dysfunction you are describing, and ONE of the elements is that something went wrong for the kids well before the act took place. And the family is part of that, so the fact that the P's may not have noticed the severe warning signs probably just indicates that they didn't notice other things for a long, long time.<BR/><BR/>Ben: rock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
