The antidote for the ills of The World is found in The Word. Families affected by dissociation can navigate their challenges more smoothly just by seeing the culture more clearly.
An Old Normie and a Boy from the Hood Watch ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Together
Normie: I’m a normie. Until the last few years, I had no idea how much evil existed in our world. I was ignorant of the horrors my countrymen lived through. I didn’t know how it affected their minds. I was unaware that I was affected. I was blind to my own history, my own sins. My ears were shut to loving my neighbor as myself.
Boy: I’m a little boy. My first memories are of sexual abuse. Those weren’t the first abuses. All those memories are stored in another me. I’m not conscious of many of them. That protects the man in charge. He’s 62. I just want to be a kid. I want to be heard. I want to be loved and safe.
When ‘If I Told You, I’d Have to Kill You’ Is the Most Honest Thing We’ve Said In Years
We stand in circles, blocking with our backs and elbows anyone who wants to breach the perimeter and look up at us, especially those with big eyes. We laugh heartily, wear our advancing-flag hats, stick out our bellies, and make enough noise that others wish they were us. Only they can’t be. And if we told them why, we’d have to kill them. No joke. No lie.
‘The Bad News Bears’ Turns 50: One of the Most Misinterpreted Scenes in Baseball Movie History
Watch it again. Two years ago he stepped away from the temptation of spending time with a child. Now he’s being forced to confirm his walk on this narrower path. His rejection of Amanda is an act of sacrifice on his part. He seeks to do good by her now, and he means it. He wants her to play baseball, to not grow up too fast, to take care of her arm, to steer her right this time. Maybe in the process he regains a measure of self-respect as a man.
Curious George: Telling the Story of Male Childhood Abuse through Children’s Books
What is it about George that makes him so endearing? The illustrations almost always depict him smiling. When he isn’t, things are not right at all. Of course, he’s so cute and effervescent. So much so that we tend to overlook what is arguably hiding in plain sight. This is a children’s tale, but the message is, if not outright bleak, at least grim. It reveals a world that is hard and cold, wrapped in an outward veneer of warmth and care.

Teeth Sharpening: Telling the Stories of Grown Men Through Children’s Books
Can a 5-year-old with sharpened teeth tell the story of grown men? If you give him a talented author and illustrator, 30 pages and 60 words, why, yes. Yes, he can. David Shannon wrote “No, David!” nearly three decades ago. He based it on a book he made and illustrated as a child. The only words in it were “no” and “David.” Who can’t relate?
