ReplyDeleteText: “ Over the years, she tried to have a relationship with her mother, but the encounters were always painful and upsetting, her mother remained harshly critical and demeaning” (Friedman).
ReplyDeleteSummary: Her daughter have been trying to improve her relationship with her mother but what she only receives from her mother were painful words and actions.
Response: I am disagree with her mother because not matter what kids always needs their parents affections and it is not right for any parent that treats their son/daughter this way, because what’s going to happen at the end is that children are going to start having a psychological problems, for example, they will have self-esteem problems, depression, they are going to be traumatize of the way their parents treat them. In many cases, some of this children needs to assist to psychologist because they believe that by going to this therapist they will find a better way to solve their relationships with their parents.
Text: "Sometimes we consider a paradoxical intervention and say to a patient, 'I really admire your loyalty to your parents even at the expense of failing to protect yourself in any way from harm.'"Dr. Herman told me in an interview.
ReplyDeletesummary: In this text it shows how the Dr realizes that some patients are so loyal to their parents that they become selfless.
response: In my opinion this shows how even people with parents that are harmful they still remain loyal. Doctors realize that when through it all loyalty still remains. Also doctors consider a paradoxical intervention to say this to their patient.In addition, this makes it a positive manner that the patient do want to make the realtionship between them in their parent work.
Text: "He Had Recently Come out as Gay to his Devoutly religous Parents, who responded by disowning him." (Friedman 2)
ReplyDeleteSummery: Looks like the Parents are mad for this person for being Sextual oriented and they do not accept him.
Response: So the Parents hate him For being Sextual Oriented its his life they have no right to be in his way. They dont have to not like him to Disowning him. If parents cannot accept the child for who they are then they should do anything at all and leave them alone.
@ Rudy-- Great job with the summary, but your response contains a lot of summary as well.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you're making a distinction between the summary and your response. Your response is your person view in some way on the contents of the text. Also remember to include the author's name!
@ Dayana, Good job, as always!
ReplyDeleteText: "Though terribly hurt and angry, this young man still hoped he could get his parents to accept his sexuality and asked me to meet with tree of them.
ReplyDeleteSummary:It shows, the parents who would not like for who he is because he is gay.
Respone:There are parents who need therapists because I think sometimes the parents would not notice that they are infecting their children’s life. The children could be in painful and hurtful that one of these days, one of their children would run away. The parents should show them love and how much they care for their child. The parents should never say mean things to their children and the parents should always love them for who they have become. This article could relate to many teens who are having diffcult time with their parents, when the children wants their parents support of what have earn. No parents is perfect because sometimes people do not know what could be going threw their unless they need medicine or a therapists.
Text: it didn’t take long to find out why. He had recently come out as gay to his devoutly religious parents, who responded by disowning him. It gets worse: at a subsequent family dinner, his father took him aside and told him it would have been better if he, rather than his younger brother, had dies in a car accident several years earlier.
ReplyDeleteIn this article they talk about how some parents are too toxic to tolerate. It also talks about how parents that mistreat you or does not agree with your decisions. My words that’s discrimination. They should accept him as what he is. After all it is your child. But I sometimes understand that parents are toxic and strict. But doesn’t mean you discriminate your children. And also not discriminate because of your sexual orientation.

Text: Sometimes, as drastic as it sounds, that means letting go of a toxic parent.
Summary: If parents treat their kid bad and make the child feel low, Then as hard as it might be the child should get away from that parent because a child should get support and love from a parent .So letting go of a toxic parent is the best way to go:
Response: I would like to believe that all parents love their kids but its not true .There is so many parents that miss treat their kids. Rather it is physical harm or even words can make a child feel low. Yes a lot of children can tolerate a toxic parent; I feel that’s not healthy for the kid. From my experience, I have felt really hurt from what my father has told me. I can tolerate it but not all kids can and who know that kid might do something crazy like kill themselves! Toxic parents are poison to their kids So if you cannot tolerate your toxic parent I strongly suggest you move out

ReplyDeleteYou can divorce an abusive spouse. You can call it quits if your lover mistreats you. But what can you do if the source of your misery is your own parent?
SUMMAY
As the article said you can escape abusive parent like you are able to escape an abusive marriage.
RESPONSE
I agree that abuse parent can be really toxic, most all the time children can’t escape from their parents because they are scare that they can’t support themselves. Also when they are under age they have to live under their parent rule until they are 18 years old. When you have an abuse marriage all you have to do is get a divorce with the support of you family.
