15 Parents With Children Who No Longer Speak To Them Reveal Their Side of the Story

Children Who No Longer Speak To Them

1. My kids still speak to me, but not much. I’m better than I was, but I was a crap parent. Poverty was part of it. Hooking up with the wrong men, just to have a little more income, or not to pay for child care. Bed chemical decisions. I got myself cleaned up, got out of debt, got rid of the guy who was harassing my boy, and acting like the girl (our kid together ) could do no wrong.

What Happens When You Raise Your Children to Fear You

fear based parenting

Fear can certainly make a child listen in the moment. A sharp tone, a slammed door, or a threat can snap a kid into place instantly. But the ease of fear is deceptive.

When Someone Really Likes You, It’s Effortless

How GoldenEye 007 Transformed Multiplayer Gaming

If you were to walk into Rare’s Twycross headquarters in late 1995, you wouldn’t have known you were stepping into a room that would redefine console shooters. You wouldn’t even know you were stepping into a game studio making a shooter.

Salamo Arouch, The Man Who Boxed for His Life in Auschwitz

04arouchlarge

There are episodes in human history so strange, so grotesquely inverted from what we consider normal, that they almost read like mythology. The story of Salamo Arouch is one of them. A Jewish middleweight boxer from Thessaloniki—undefeated, national champion, a local celebrity in a cosmopolitan port city—he walked into Auschwitz not as a fighter, but as prisoner number 136954. And yet, bizarrely, the skills that mattered inside that universe were not the ones that mattered outside. In the world the Nazis built, a man’s ability to read a jab, slip a hook, and stay on his feet was suddenly a currency of survival.
