Mm-hmm.
And during this call, Jamie brings up the fact that she had experienced some neglect in her own childhood.
And she's quick to clarify that she loves her parents, but there was just a level of emotional neglect there.
Right.
Exactly.
And then Jamie does something pretty wild.
She tells her friend, this person who just called to offer her congratulations, mind you, she says, "Can I be honest with you? I think you neglect your kid."
Oh my gosh.
You can just imagine the dead silence on the other end of that phone line.

She says, "What do you mean? We've been married for twenty-five years.
I don't even drink.
We have a happy marriage."

She immediately lists all the ways she is providing a safe, stable, traditional environment.
But Jamie challenges that by arguing that raising a child when you are not in pursuit of your own dreams or your own potential is an invisible, insidious form of neglect.
