Conning Your Confidante
Overdisclosing information to your child can be handy tactic, especially if you are lacking in loyal adult contacts who will listen you to endlessly and unconditionally.
Train your child to be your emotional support, listen to all your woes, provide marital guidance and stand in for the best friends you do not have.
By proffering this special status to your child, they will believe they have achieved something valuable, that they are in fact very special, trustworthy people with exceptional listening skills and maturity. In reality, you can amuse yourself at how successfully you have conned them into a whole new depth of emotional slavery. |
