oh yeah i remember well, the first bonds me and my wife had with our first born! the loving shpeherding couple we looked up to so much heard us talking like all normal enthusiastic new parents do about how wonderful their child is..i was talking about how our son then only a few weeks old was looking at a lamp and making faces that looked like he was about to laugh..that is pretty normal for a baby who has just developed some visual focus, lying on his back looking at a colorful paper lamp....as a young parent unaware of how things work and how much a child develops and what he is capaple of, i was so certain that my son looked at the lamp and then looked at me and laughed, like he was showing me how much he liked the colorful paper lamp using eye contact and gestures and all..we really weren't overdoing it and boring anyone,just chit chatted about it a little.but the shepherdess said later that i was lifted in pride about my child and trying to show he had some kind of super intelligence at an early age.nevermind that it was actually the shepherdess who was envious,and trying to even out all oour feelings into a flat zomby zone..
now that kind of shit got in the way all the time between me and my children.we NEVER developed the kind of loving bonds we should have because the fucking family was always there getting in the fucking way.in that cult there is ALWAYS the possibility in something like that can happen.its too unstable!
even today this kind of thing can happen!
