About the book >.>.> All these are dilemmas of parenting which rather than being pathological are merely human. But myths are about human beings even when their main characters are gods. How do we deal with these issues of over-expectation and possessiveness? If we bring children into the world we owe them fairness and justice in our emotional dealings with them. First and foremost we need to be conscious of our hidden feelings. If we know we are expecting too much from our children we can show them love even when they are not achieving what we hope and we can also encourage them to follow the path of their own hearts and souls rather than the one we ourselves wish we could have followed. Feelings which are conscious and contained do not destroy. Unconscious feelings which result in unconscious behavior can cause great injury to a child. No parent’s life is perfect and we all harbor unrealistic hopes for our children. This is human and natural. But our children are not divine nor are they on this earth for our greater glory or the redemption of our own lives. In the marriage of Thetis and Peleus created through the wisdom of Zeus lies a profound image of the mixture of human and divine which stands behind every human being’s origin. Every child partakes of both. If we can remember this and allow our offspring to be the humans that they are then this ancient myth can help us to be wiser and more generous parents. (SP)
