Kids Who Blame Themselves

Kids Who Blame Themselves for Mom’s Depression

"Even if she doesn't say it, I know it's my fault that my mother gets sad." Kids who believe comments like this -- assuming blame for their mom's sadness or depression -- are more likely to face depression and anxiety themselves, a new study led by SMU has found. "Although mothers with higher levels of depressive symptoms face increased risk that their children will also experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, our study showed that this was not the case for all children," said SMU family psychologist and lead author Chrystyna Kouros. "Rather, it was those children who felt they were to blame for their mother's sadness or depression...that had higher levels of internalizing symptoms."

Tragedy in Tuscon

      On January 8, 2011, U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and eighteen others were shot during a constituent meeting held in a supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Arizona, in the Tucson metropolitan area. Six people died, including federal District Court Chief Judge John Roll; Gabe Zimmerman, one of Rep. Giffords’ staffers; and a nine-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green. Giffords was holding the meeting, called “Congress on Your Corner” in the parking lot of a Safeway store when Jared Lee Loughner drew a pistol and shot her in the head before proceeding to fire on other people. One additional person was injured in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. News reports identified the target of the attack as Giffords, a Democrat representing Arizona’s 8th congressional district was shot through the head at point-blank range. In the video below Susan Whitmore discusses this tragedy.

Social Distancing

Social Distancing Doesn’t Mean Emotional Distancing

I have been asking myself for days, What can I say to everyone that might be helpful or meaningful that they haven't already heard a thousand times by now? Do I just go ahead with the regular newsletter so you get a break from hearing about the coronavirus, or do I share something with you that might be different than what you have been hearing? Then I realized how many times over the last few days I have heard those words we are already so very familiar with -- New Normal We keep hearing the words "new normal" everywhere we turn.
