Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
I've subscribed to the blog of the 93-year old Simone Klugman and her most recent post made me cringe. Those cultural practices in handling female babies are just so wrong. Oh boy, when we'll we ever learn? What's in it for them? Painful and devastating cultural practices. "Simone Klugman's Where Have All the Daughters Gone?"
I mean if you think about it - it would be mainly the poor families who murder their daughters because they cannot afford them, and it is more important in their society to have a male heir, a son.
So that leaves the upper classes, more financially stable, probably more educated, who are most likely to keep their daughters.
So these daughters, from more affluent families, who are most likely better educated - why do they allow this in their own country?
Something tells me that there is a lot more to the story than what the media is telling us, or what we outsiders are allowed to know.
Perhaps, with populations spinning so out of control, "thinning the herd" by preserving the more educated people and making it more difficult for lower classes of society (poor, uneducated) is just a master plan at work. But is it working?
I did watch a documentary that showed how some families keep their children (risking prison) by giving their children to relatives who do not have children (grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc.) So the children are raised thinking their grandmother is really their mother or whatever situation they were put into so that the parents would not feel the need to murder their own children.
