    I just finished Wavewalker. It was amazingly written and while I did not grow up sailing around the world, I did find parallels of having such selfish parents. Ones in which had plenty of time and money for what they wanted and little money for the basics of my necessities. As an adult, their behavior was deplorable so I felt like I was taking the journey through your lens and mine simultaneously. Well-done.

    I have ASD, and Vincent's book has enlightened me on the concept of allostatic load, and the impact this has on fatigue. As someone on the autistic spectrum, I know that ASD symptoms, and just trying to socially exist creates stress. I suffer fatigue, and I'm routinely floored by stress migraines. I still don't know how I'm going to use the knowledge that Vincent has imparted, but I haven't yet finished the book, so that may become clearer, and I do feel better armed.

    Takeaways: Nurture yourself by being more discerning in terms of where you invest your emotional energy. Some areas of life (perhaps your work for example) puts great demands on us to give more and "be perfect" yet provides a meagre return in a way that and replenishes our soul. From self-knowledge and self-understanding, self-compassion can be developed. Take care of yourself.

    I'm just really starting to make sense of BSS. I've struggled all my life with mental health and damaging relationships & friendships. I always felt it was something wrong with me. Trying various things counselling, medication, etc never quite worked and diagnoses never quite fit, compounding the feeling of failure... 'why can't I just get it right?' Reading about BSS is like a light bulb. Finally, a description that absolutely fits. But what to do about? I'm 44, single, broke and feel like times slipping away.

    My first day at boarding school, 50 years ago, is still one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. My mother left me - her 10 year old daughter - without saying goodbye. I turned around at one point and she was gone. For hours I refused to believe it and kept searching for her. I was not allowed to phone home. I cried every night for over a year. I did not get over this but life goes on.

    Suzanne's parents did not do anything wrong by sailing throughout her childhood. Her attitude is what made her have such a hard childhood. Her parents were certainly worthy of criticism, but so was she, as all children are. She believes that she didn't have a privileged childhood, vehemently. Ironically, the amount of privilege required to feel entitled to a good education is very great. Throughout all history the kind of education occurring today was reserved for less than a millionth of a percent of the population of the world. Today, you are still privileged if you receive such an education as she felt entitled to. Too bad she had a victimhood mentality and didn't receive the most powerful education of all, which her parents were well equipped to provide her if she weren't so busy imagining them to be her jailers. The curriculum was right in front of her all along, in the sea, in the stars, in the problems and missing solutions. They were on the maps, in the rationing, the poverty and the occasional flourishing. The education she sought at university came from men and women who were doing exactly what they were doing out there on the greatest adventure to ever be unappreciated. The flora and fauna, the habitats, biology, ecology, meteorology, the cultures encountered, the struggles and economies varying with each. For someone who claims to love education so dearly, Suzanne has yet to realize she left the classroom from which all the forefathers of higher education themselves learned, and went instead to learn from those who only ever heard about it, never knew it first-hand. Oh dear Suzanne, you my dear will hear about these things from your children when they arrive at your current age. They will write about these things you could not find the wisdom to be grateful for. Since you would not grow up at sea, grow up ashore. When you write a second book that shares all the lessons your parents and the sea taught, and you didn't learn until sometime after right now, then I will read both of your books. You owe your parents more than an apology. I hope they read this and know that a random guy in Arizona understands what they did, and that there are people out there rooting for their daughter to wake up and find the gratitude required to have that long overdue attitude correction.

      @@Wilderness449 That’s the way it is. Parents force children to do what they believe is best, not what the child believes is best. The children revolve around the parent, not the other way. If the parent is self-centered, then the child may have to wait till adulthood when they are able be independent and do what they believe is best. The parents know that in adulthood the child can become whatever they are capable of and are not forcing them to live their dreams. Childhood is not you living your life. Adulthood is. You obey your parents and follow them wherever they tell you. It’s their life, and you’re there to learn. You’re up next, so you better learn before you hit maturity, because then you’ll be doing your life. That’s how it is.

      @@emiliem.4661 You’re opinion on what qualifies as “needs” and “reckless” lacks wisdom. Her needs were met, not her wants. She was protected and is alive and well today, thanks to them. And who is more capable of surviving a chaotic world… …her or the average person? Obviously her… thanks to her parents. You think like an insurance provider not a parent who wants their children to become the most capable and experienced that they can be. Her parents gave her a treasure. This coddled culture can’t fathom that as easily. They lack wisdom and knowledge of history. Many of their children are a nightmare of ineptitude.
