Jekyll and Hyde Parenting
A style of parenting that provides a full spectrum of emotional and psychological experiences to a child vis-a-vis the parents’ instability and addictions which lays the groundwork for years of in-depth psychotherapies in which the child, throughout their lifespan, has the opportunity to undo the warp and find some semblance of balance and potentially, a sense of a true self.
Yup, at our house it was nose-to-the-grindstone discipline during the week and then Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride when the weekends rolled around; my parents were practicing devotees of Jekyll and Hyde Parenting.
