"Passei o dia numa ilha. Uma senhora simpática, vendo-me a olhar para uma estante no seu restaurante, deixou-me levar um livro emprestado. Isto foi o máximo que consegui ler antes da hora de apanhar o barco para regressar a casa.
Fico à espera de reencontrar o livro numa biblioteca para terminar a leitura. :)" — Aug 26, 2025 10:08AM

“There is a minimal amount of parental emotional connection, empathy and ongoing attention which is necessary to fuel a child’s growth and development so that he or she will grow into an emotionally healthy and emotionally connected adult. Less than that minimal amount and the child becomes an adult who struggles emotionally–outwardly successful, perhaps, but empty, missing something within, which the world can’t see.”

“Because depressed parents appear put-upon, beleaguered or overwhelmed by the ordinary demands of parenting, their children don’t always learn that they are worthwhile and so are at risk to become depressed themselves in adulthood.”

“Yes, you got enough mothering to survive, but not enough for the kind of foundation that supports healthy self-confidence, initiative, resilience, trust, healthy entitlement, self-esteem, and the many other qualities we need to thrive in this challenging world.”
