I don't really know and that's not my point.
My point is this: the pathology of overprotective mother has spread outside family and entered politics. And that's a huge problem.
Read @dana-edwards' posts as an example. She is smart as hell, very knowledgeable, brillant mind I would say. But at the same time she plays the role of this pathological monster: her priority is to protect others and make them constantly dependent on this protection.
