On Parenthood

“ Thoughts pass, they are flying; they are Delphic and at the same time human: they are questions ... I think if I did the right thing with the child, if my intervention in the challenges -even at his very young age- that it faces were the right ones. A little silence, then I speak to my mind; I conclude that this concern is part of being a father or a mother: that is, I believe I would be afraid of parents who are absolute and know exactly what they are doing with the child, without ever wondering about their position: these are the parents who neither see nor hear…”

Petros Patounas, Lacanian Psychoanalyst
