Salt of the earth
Quote From: poodlepink When a woman has a son and sees thet he's vibrant, full of life, strong-willed, and somewhat mischievious, she can either say I''ve got my work cut out for me teaching this beautiful little person to behave, but still retain his confidence and determination that are good qualities as long as they're tempered.....or she can decide he a demon child, full of hate. But no, we can't change the fact that we are all born completely blank slates, who immediately begin to pick up on things communicated to us, some verbal, some implied, some nonverbal physical cues people are constantly communicating, not just when lying. So Nick has picked up on the fact that his Mom thinks he's bad, and he's torn to pieces emotionally, so he acts out. Dr. Phil has an excellent solution, in my uneducated opinion, to put him in a residential facility; But the hidden truth maybe I shouldn't even mention is that, in my opinion, Dr. Phil knows these parents are poisoning their son. (Mentally and emotionally, I mean.)
When I saw the tape filmed in their kitchen, I saw that Greg did continue to stand uncomfortably, dominatingly close to Nick, then Nick would push him back and let go, then Greg responded,oddly, especially if he's afraid of Nick, by putting his arms on Nick's upper arms/shoulders and shoving him back a couple of steps. This pushing continues, where Nick is trying to get Greg off of him, from standing too close, toe to toe, in a squared off pose men usually find aggressive from other males. Watch closely in film like this, the proofs in the fine flavors of the puddin';Like when Nick jumped past Greg in the doorway, he seemed more afraid of what would happen than aggressive. Much of his tone of voice in the piece went from trying to sound tough or "big" to a whining tone, showing he was trying to bluff off his opponent Greg.
Dear Poodlepink,
I didn't see the beginning of the show and missed what you described.
However, base on your first paragraph I have not a doubt in my mind that you are completely right.
Thanks for your sharing insights.
If nothing else, you made me feel good knowing that I am not alone in seeing these dynamics going on, seeing so much more incorrect behavior in the parents rather than in the child.
Sound like you're the salt on the earth type of woman!
