Product Information

Negative Norman: If you don’t have anything nice to say…why not say it to your child and emotionally scar them for the rest of their lives? It's tearing me apart emotionally, as I'm realizing that the man who was supposed to be my guiding compass is kind of an asshole. This is my procedure, keeping in mind that I’m not an expert and I haven’t had to deal with this for a while.

I know your hollow selfish narcissistic type and it’s telicated by your whole entitled narcissistic blog.

But after all this drama still they keep on imposing that they are the parents, they have raised us, they earned the money, we are ungrateful, we will always be under their debt.Again, I told my parents YESTERDAY THAT I WAS GOING TO GO WITH MY FRIENDS, BUT THEY SAID I HAD TO GO AND WALK THE DOG. The first step is for us to be able to sit in the bad feeling that really lives in our body of not being good at it. But in Sean’s experience, the proliferation of mother’s groups – and lack of more inclusive parenting groups – leaves men feeling unsupported.
