Manipulation means to handle or control in a skillful manner.
Am I a parent who manipulates?
When I manipulate in Truth I handle and control the only person I can control - MYSELF! I also invite my child to recognize, feel and then accept personal responsibility for every choice they make.
When I manipulate in distortion I am creating an illusion that I can control my child. I minimize, justify and distract from my own choices and my child’s accountability for their choices.
Where do I live . . . Inside Truth or inside distortion?
