just read this qt i think may be a little closer to the truth...
"of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. it would be better to live under robber barons then under omnipotent moral busybodies. the robberbarons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us w/o end for they do so w/ the approval of their own conscience." cs lewis.
i believe she believes. God help the family.
