The family was dysfunctional in that in important but subtle ways the locus of power was not on the parents but in the mother’s older sister. The mother’s older sister was tyrannical; the parents were weak and dependent individuals with a poor level of autonomy. Both parents had never separated psychologically from their families of origin. This was especially true of the mother who was profoundly dependent on her older sister for emotional support. In important ways the mother’s sister infantilized the mother. Both parents acquiesced in mother’s sister’s arrogation of a parental role. The mother’s sister was childless and married to a man who showed a reaction formation against aggression; he ceded marital power to his tyrannical wife.There was a lot of marital discord between the patient’s parents. In the patient’s early years (up to age 12) there was serious and continual discord centering on ... less

Subsequently PET calls him and asks for counsel/advice/guidance regularly which Obama gladly gives him. PET said many very flattering things about Obama and has conveniently forgotten all the bullsh** rhetoric and lies in which he engaged for so long to undermine/discredit/sabotage/destroy Obama. And so it goes. You can see that PET is very quixotic/undependable/flipfloppy sloppy. Good luck believing anything he says. less

How could there be? But politics and religion are all about division so clearly the facts they use differ. Which fact is most factual? Depends upon the beholder's eye. Doesn't it?
