One of our members recently told me about a drug problem he had when he was a boy. He said it was terrible:
“I was drug to church and Sunday school on Sunday mornings.
I was drug to church for funerals and weddings.
I was drug to school whether I had my homework done or not.
I was drug to family reunions no matter what I’d rather do.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.
I was drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents.”
The man said he was then turned off and tuned out.
“My parents turned off the TV when it was time for me to do my chores.
My parents tuned me out when I whined.”
The man confessed that he also had experience with the correction system.
“My parents constantly corrected me.
My parents supported teachers who disciplined me.”
This man has joined a support group, “Survivors of Functional Families.” - DJ
