> The worst form of warfare, the most inhumane, the most likely to teach mistrust and contempt from generation to generation, CHILDREN - whether as a shield or as a weapon, there are effective tools in warfare. But used to fend off harm or to inflict harm, these impliments of war are ultimately harmed beyond repair. You and your husband must agree stop this form of battle now Susan.
Listen Toph, I am not using my children as a form of battle. Why do you think I understand that he needs to learn Love? Do you think I need to learn it? Do you think pain didn't teach me love?
You're reading into things what isn't there. My children cannot be used. Do you have any idea how emotionally smart they are? My daughter would never allow it. Although she's in denial about herself, she won't always be. Like I was in denial. Here, Toph, operative word .. WAS. Do you get it? I'm trying to teach their father to love me the way I love him, which is with my children, in a circle, INCLUDING everyone in his life who wants to be trustful and trustworthy and LOVING.
Nothing hurts children like a lack of Love. Everywhere. In everyone around them.
