Lynn,
I'm glad that the information helped you. I've also been in contact
with Susan, and she and her website have been very valuable tools for
our family.

A parent cannot decide how a child will feel.
A parent's guess about a child's feelings could be absolutely and
totally off.
What I meant when I said it was for her to decide is that SHE knows
her child, intamately and personally, which NOBODY ELSE on this board
can say. SHE would know better than the rest of us whether or not it
would be beneficial for her child, regardless of the opinions of the
rest of the people on the boards.

but rather make your comments into the group, addressed to all.
Parents have claimed for years to speak for their children, and tell
people how their children felt, and "He's sorry" (or "you'll be
sorry") and on and on. Parents have traditionally told children how
they feel, how they should feel, and denied their exressions of how
they feel.
That is going on all around us, on all sides, and past, present and
future.
I'd prefer it not be advocated on this list.

I think something was left out of that sentence, but I think I still
get the gist of it. And I still disagree.
There are parents who seem POSITIVE that they know their children and
no one else does, yet they do some pretty horrendous things to them.
All the statements on this page were made by parents of children.
The statements were made in writing, in public:

Can you look at that and say that it's up to each of them to decide
whether their children will react as they've claimed?

Maybe so and maybe not.
Some people are better at interpersonal understanding than others.
Some are oblivious for one reason or another. Some want to believe
what they believe so much that they will ignore any evidence to the
contrary.
