Her mother was admired as a
housekeeper. She never encourag-
ed help with home chores. “Run
out and play,” shed say to her
daughter. “Childhood to a carefree
time Enjoy it.”
Now 33 years old, the child to a
deserted wife and mother. She
writes me a letter signed “Con-
fused.” and says: “Even
when I visit my mother, I am not
allowed to help with th* cooking or
dishes. When I look at my shabby
home and the second-hand clothes
the children and I have to wear,
I sometimes wonder if ay mother
was right to spare me al respon-
sibility.”
Let’s stop “wondering” about it.
Mother was wrong. Mother used
us as a victim to pride to her
housekeeping responsibility."
However, the serious wrong was
not to neglect our training to bones
work. The serious wrong to the
kind of emotional expectation she
has cultivated in us She has taught
us to react with suspicion to any-
one who needs our strength. ,
This suspicion of which we are
entirely unaware may account for
For unconsciously, we may a
credit the affection of anyone who
refuses to baby us. So that a hus
band who expects • meat home and
well-cooked meals may have ap-
peared unloving aad cruel. So that
children’s demands fee clean play-
suits and attention may seem op-
pressive and irritating. So that any
pressure, any call upon or initia-
tive and strength have to be to-
stantly resisted as hostile aad un-
fair.
Love teaches a* to look after
ourselves. If Mother has convinced
a* otherwise, no wonder we have
to wear second-hand clothes. No
wonder am home to shabby. Ne
wonder we feel unable to improve
our circumstances We are the
hypnotized child of a woman who
gave us a bad steer.
So let me tell this hypnotized
child that she does not hate the
second-hand clothes, but the strang-
ling hold of a second - hund help-
less, second-rate person. Authority
has Bed She’s a first-rate person
When she knows it, she’ll have the
first-hand clothes.
She’s not been loved, but
depreciated She feels it, but does
not dare yet know IL That's why
she signs herself “Confused.”
It to confusing to discover that
we were not loved. We’re on our
own when we discover that
Says Socrates, “The unexamin-
ed life is not worth living.” That’s
what thla child to beginning to
team as she “wonders” if pride
in housekeeping efficiency was love
tor a little girl.
