is the dysfunctional belief that children can be 'owned' and not the simple =

 defective (responsibility is derived from =91respondiere=92: re means again=

mily by being away from them=2E In most families men 'go out' to work and ar=

 Latham; a man who is divorced, a man with an apparent history of physical v=
