They talk about how Katie can't handle money or her job, or making decisions in general.
People learn (or at least start to learn) about managing money/work during their teen years. But Katie didn't have any "teen years"-- she had Cross Creek instead.
People learn about making good decisions by trial and error, making various decisions, experiencing their results, and deciding what works best. But Katie didn't get to learn that-- she was at Cross Creek, where she didn't have the freedom to decide anything.
And these parents expect her to come out "fixed"? Dream on!
Not only that, but not being able to handle money doesn't make you some pathological reprobate as Michael C Carter and Diane Carter, of Ohio, imagine.
The U.S. is in recession because so many people: CEOs, traders, etc., over extended themselves. The U.S is near financial depression because of that. So is 3/4s of the nation insane reprobates or just teenage Katie?
Are Michael C Carter and Diane insane deviants because they financially over extended themselves for WWASP, despite there being NO clinical (or judicial) PROOF WWASP does anything but DESTROY people--putting aside the issue of torturing Kaite into deep mental disability--isn't that just plain BAD financial planning and shouldn't they therefore should be condemning themselves now? Especially considering that they chose it over comparatively no-cost dialectic family therapy (where the whole family is considered, not just a scapegoat), any form of out patient therapy, or just simple stuff like getting a kid involved in theatre and activities have been PROVED to actually help? Even if they can claim they were ignorant about the reality of WWASP shouldn’t they be lacerating themselves now for not doing basic research? Why just flog Katie for 1000$ or so dollars?
Those sort of irrational, scapegoating, unevenly applied contemptuous judgments are abusive thought processes.
I think the blog of Michael C Carter and Diane Carter, the shameful child abusers, should be screen saved and forwarded to relevant academics so abusive thought processes and care-givers can be better understood
