Teenagers n Adults – Human Condition

HumanCondition.com

By the age of 13, the reality of life deepens. Adults are unable to adequately explain the horror of the world to #teenagers because they themselves are in denial of the #humancondition.

But for teenagers, who can see it all clearly, the wrongness of adult behaviour is a mystery.

From their point of view, adults have been fake and fraudulent and don’t even admit that there is a very real and serious problem with human behaviour.

• Why is everyone so unhappy and preoccupied?

• Why are people so fake?

• Why do people kill each other?

• Why do parents fight so much?

• Why are we going to a party when people are starving?

There’s a huge issue in life that nobody is talking about, and children have had to discover for themselves why it was so necessary to ignore it. They’ve had to work out why adults find the human condition such an unconfrontable, off-limits subject. Eventually they too resign themselves to the reality of life, but given the truly awful world that adolescence have to resign themselves to, it’s little wonder they retreat, become retaliatory and try to block the whole world out, trying their utmost to resist the inevitable resignation to a life of denial.

BUT wonderfully, adults can now be honest about the human condition, be honest about their fraudulent, superficial existence and explain why it has been such an important and necessary part of the human journey. The relief this honesty will bring to teenagers (and adults) is astronomical and most beautifully will allow them to retain their zest for life and make the need to resign to the hellish adult world unnecessary.

Thank goodness! http://www.humancondition.com

Responsible-Sherrie Dillard Ph D

So many of us were brought up having to responsible for far too much. We were forced to adapt to walking on eggshells around the lack of predictability, stability and moodiness of the power-holders in our lives.

We were made to feel their moods, their lack of stability and consistency were our fault. We carry this “responsibility habit” into every area of our lives and often for the duration of our lives. We reflexively feel at fault when life isn’t going well, even when it’s just life being life. This automatic reaction is a result of us having an overworked and taxed nervous system.

We have learned to live on high alert. We are consistently preparing for the bottom to fall out, for the worst possible outcome and spend our lives feeling on the edge of our survival. We are terrified of the unknown. We also fear that when things aren’t working out we will somehow be blamed.

The teaching to take is that when our family wasn’t or isn’t an honest place it makes it hard to believe life can be healthfully navigated. Setting the necessary boundaries on our family helps us create the life of integrity we’ve always deserved and desired to live. To do this, you’ve got to get the poison out.

Grieving for children

There’s a tendency sometimes to keep busy, so we don’t have too much time to wallow -it just takes us down. We fill our lives with activity and people to crowd out our racing, raging, uncomprehending minds. We’re heartbroken. We trawl through the refuge of the past, what we have left – photos, memories, reminders. We do our best to live in the present (yes, it’s a gift, and we’re grateful, but ….). We had hoped for a future, and we still do hope for that future with the ones we love very much a part of it. Not apart. A part. Our child/ren are out there. We love them. We miss them. Re-imagining the future is hard, and we could never have imagined it this way. What the hell happened? Who knew about alienation before it happened to us? We can dine out on ‘thinking positive’, and we can pride ourselves on our hearty fortitude (on the good days), but it’s with a huge dollop of reality on the side that leaves a bad taste in the mouth. This experience is traumatic and it is not for the weak-hearted/minded. Our unconditional love for our child/ren cannot be taken from us. This is true. But for all the platitudes and ‘it’ll get easier in time’ messages we get from well-intentioned people (and nobody truly understands who doesn’t experience it, however many letters they have after their name), alienation from our child/ren is no walk in the park. It is the biggest, most monumental challenge because it’s embroiled with injustice and lies and manipulation, it’s a living bereavement, it’s psychological abuse, and we worry for our child who’s been enmeshed in the disordered pathology of the alienating parent. But we have no choice but to sit with it, to be strong, and to keep sending out love, near or far. Come what may. We are not letting this experience define us. We keep the faith, we keep loving, we get up and get on with it, and we don’t quit.
