Clearly there was very very little conversation with Edie about the therapy process. Otherwise it would not have been news to her that there would be 'multiple' appointments. And this was divulged literally just before they left the house. Imagine putting your kid forward for such a significant process without explaining the basics - you can be sure they haven't even touched on the complex aspects. The kid hasn't a bloody clue what's going on. But then again, the less the kid knows, the more compliant she'll be. That micro expression in Edie's eyes at the beginning of the cafe footage took be aback. When you know, you know.
Yes I agree, E2 has no clue what is going on.
Also apart from E2 just being told before they left home that this was their "first" appointment, did anyone else hear at 4.20 in the vlog, (it may not have been picked up because he kind of whispered it to Anna.) , " E2 said to Anna just before they entered the clinic,
E2 - " I am really scared"
Anna - "why" (in an annoyed voice)
E2 - "I don't know why I am going" (is what I heard)
Anna - "dont be scared, oh (the clinic) its got pretty flowers outside, Edie"
Who gives a fuck about the flowers! he just said he doesn't know why he is going! Is she for real! She has completely glossed over what he said.
He looks confused and frightened.
Red flags and Alarm bells should be going off to everyone who is watching this video, this is a brazen dereliction of duty for all concerned.
Blind freddy can see he has so much pent up anxiety and apprehension, they have led him astray, he is not prepared at all, they have epically mislead him and manipulated him, they have not been truthful with him about this appointment or anything for that matter. Poor, poor child.
The only thing that resonated with him on that day out was knowing he will be able to pick out some toys and that he will "boast and make his siblings jealous" that he got toys and they didn't. How could he possibly understand the gravity and concept of what sort of serious discussions or decisions needs to be made when he doesn't even know why he is going to this place for.
This is So wrong on so many levels, for a child to shoulder so much, it's sheer abuse, he is like a deer in headlights.
