Paradox of the responsible adult

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

Campbell's Paradox

Campbell's paradox states that the word "dad" is both at the peak of kinky and devoid of kinky connotation simultaneously. Philosophers and ethicists typically use the common term "daddy" as an anchor, since "daddy" is known to have non-zero and non-absolute kinky connotation. Thus, the scale of kinkiness goes dad < daddy < dad.

"On a scale from dad to dad, how bad was that girl you were with last night?"
"Excuse me?"
"Campbell's Paradox, look it up"
