labeling There is only one mental health disorder: Psychiatristentia Delusiono Grandeur Disorder (PDGD) Suffers believe themselves to be the sole arbiters of mental health and they compulsively invent new names for mental health disorders and then accuse people of suffering from them. These are seriously disturbed and dangerous individuals best not approached alone. Symptoms include breaking into a sweat and being struck dumb when encountering someone who understands logical fallacies. — YouTube viewer comment.

Don't sleep with [your children] or spend more than the absolute minimum time helping them dress or bathe. Make sure the children have their own beds and bedrooms and be firm about them sleeping there. Don't let them fall asleep with you, even on the couch watching a movie, or come sleep with you in the middle of the night. Lock your door if you have to.
