  • Covert incest, also known as emotional incest or psychic incest, refers to a dysfunctional dynamic within a family where a parent relies on their child for emotional support, companionship, or intimacy that should be reserved for adult relationships. Unlike overt forms of incest which involve physical sexual abuse, covert incest involves emotional boundaries being violated, often in subtle or indirect ways.

    Sorority hazing refers to the practice of subjecting prospective or new members of a sorority (a female social organization typically associated with colleges or universities) to various activities or rituals that may involve physical, emotional, or psychological stress. These activities are often intended to test the individual's commitment, loyalty, or ability to endure challenges in order to gain acceptance into the sorority. It's important to note that hazing can have serious consequences, and many institutions and organizations have strict policies against such activities due to the potential for harm and legal implications.

  • Martha opens up about her journey of parenting a child with Down syndrome. In this video, she shares her personal experiences, challenges, and the immense joy that comes with raising her extraordinary son. Whether you're a parent-to-be, a caregiver, or simply curious about the beautiful diversity in our world, this video aims to provide insight, support, and encouragement. Let's break down misconceptions and embrace the beauty that every child brings into our lives.
    Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. Typically, each person has two copies of this chromosome, but individuals with Down syndrome have three copies, leading to a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46.
