Well.. that's quiet the share!
Candidly I'd have to say I agree with a lot of your points. I found it interesting how in your original "12 reasons why" post you touched on themes that appear in both AA and AVRT (supporting my theory that they are basically opposite but mirror images of one another).
While I think recovery language and slogans can be useful for a time but can only take us so far.. I'm now also delving deeper into therapy surrounding inner child work, and comparisons of the HP concept and our literal parents have definitely come up. So while I agree with a lot of what you've said, I think there's a way to be an adult for all practical intents and purposes, while still also honoring and acknowledging our inner child (as my avatar indicates).. AA and/or Christianity are not my first choice for embracing "juvenile" beliefs or power hierarchies, but who am I to judge those who find solace in them..
