Reply #96: This is disturbing on so many levels [View All]

Not the least of which are the posts of many here!

Regarding the son "turning in" his mom:

1) let's say for the sake of argument that the kid *did* actually literally turn his mom in -- like that's completely unheard of?? Kids get pissed at parents for a lot of reasons (and sometimes for no reason at all!) and kids are capable of all kinds of irrational behavior. However, I doubt this is what happened.

More likely, he was talking to a counselor, and perhaps the counselor was asking him what was bothering him at home. And maybe the kid said: "my mom -- she drives me crazy" and the counselor says, "uh huh, go on, what does she do that you don't like?" "Well," the kid replies, "last week she was so gross!! She was telling me and bro about some sick sex stuff she did when she was younger, it was GROSS!!!"

"Did it make you uncomfortable?"

"Hell yeah it did!"

BINGO -- call is made to authorities.

It makes me sick to think that we parents have to walk such a fragile line ALL THE FUCKIN' time!

What if their mom had posted her sexual experiences to a blog somewhere, and what if they had read it there? Would the guilt be the same?

2) the people who keep bringing up either a) a father with a daughter and b) an employer with an employee and trying to draw a parallel -- JUST STOP! Just because you want situations to be similar does not mean they actually are, ok??
