Download Silently Seduced, Revised & Updated: When Parents Make Their Children Partners AudioBook Free
When a father or mother singles out a child for special privileges and attention, that child is often unaware that the partnership is unhealthy - even incestuous. As individuals, these children struggle to feel validated, because while they have not been directly abused, they feel a sense of violation and crossed restrictions - usually done in the name of 'love' and 'caring'. The parent's love seems more confining than freeing, more demanding than providing, more intrusive than nurturing. Yet these children suffer from what psychologist Kenneth Adams telephone calls The Silent Seduction - because there is nothing adoring or caring in regards to a close parent-child relationship that services the needs of the father or mother rather than the child. In this revised and up to date 20th anniversary release of his groundbreaking e book Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams clarifies how 'feeling close', especially with the opposite-sex father or mother, is not the source of comfort the image suggests, in particular when that child is cheated out of the childhood by being a parent's surrogate partner. He offers a framework to comprehend this covert incest and its own effect on sexuality, intimacy, and interactions, and how subjects can begin the procedure of recovery.
