My mom was the type of parent that had a limit to the things I was able to do. When I was in grade school, I always got mad at my mom because I had no neighborhood friends.

There were lots of dangerous dogs and drug

This is where I see the authoritarian parenting style of me. For example, I most likely say you do it because I said so. Being more direct with my daughters because I want them to obey my commands. As for my parenting styles, I would say the upbringing of children was based on my parents up

wrong. My dad was the one who taught me, and helped me when I got hurt. The first time I had even gotten on a bike, I did it totally wrong. The handlebars were backwards, and so was my cool helmet. My dad told me just to put my feet on the pedals and start peddling. He also said he would hold on the back the whole time, yet he didn’t. As soon as I started balancing myself, he let go. Boy what a mistake that was. I looked back and realized that he had let go. I was scared to death that I was going

We need to reach out to our victims and prove to them there are places we can be safe. Sadly to say, we may never be able to put abuse completely to a stop, but we can help those
