Personally, I think Tom is the one who has been brainwashed! He just got very weird, very fast. I heard that he has been made a major player in the Scientology church, way up there in authority. I think that is what happened to him. The whole silent birth thing is bizarre to say the least. If it is how she wants to give birth, more power to her, but I hope that she isn't just going along to please him.....birth is difficult enough without that added stress. My best friend was an L&D nurse and it used to kill her when mothers would be begging for pain medication and the husband would be there saying "Now honey, remember, we decided that we wouldn't do medication" What "we" bozo? Until you are the one on the table you don't get a vote! I hope she comes through this with her mind intact. If I was her mother I'd have her hauled home so fast her head would spin! |
