The woman at the well had her sins âwashed awayâ by Jesus. The story shows that Jesus offers divine mercy in the living water of grace, which washes away sins and cleanses souls. The woman went to the well to get a jug of water. Instead, she got much more, including a cleansed and refreshed spiritual life.
Authoritarian parenting is a restrictive, punishment-heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child's and family's perception and status.
This is called âpathogenic parenting;â i.e., parenting that is so highly problematic and destructive that it is creating a psychopathology in the children. 1  When there is pathogenic parenting (by the alienating parent), the first step is to rescue the child from the psychopathology of the alienating parent.
