Zweihänder
The Zweihänder (German for "two hander", also called Great sword, Bidenhänder, Schlachtschwert[1] or Bihänder), is a two-handed sword primarily of the Renaissance. It is a true two-handed sword because wielding it requires two hands, unlike other large swords that also can be used with one.[2] The Zweihänder swords seamlessly develop from the German "Langschwert" (longsword) of the Late Middle Ages and became a hallmark weapon of the German Landsknechte from the time of Maximilian I (d. 1519) and during the Italian Wars of 1494–1559. These swords represent the final stage in the trend of increasing size that started in the 14th century. Morphology[edit] Due to their size and weight — typically at least 1.4 m (4 ft 71⁄8 in) long and with a weight of over 2 kg — Zweihänders require two hands; as such they require at least 25 cm (9.84 in) for the grip.[4] Zweihänders above 4 kg are considered to be more ceremonial than practical.

When Shame feels Mothering: The Tragedy of Parentified Daughters
Bethany Webster The road between a little girl and her mother is supposed to be a one-way street with support flowing consistently from the mother to the daughter. It goes without saying that little girls are totally dependent on their mothers for physical, mental and emotional support. However, one of the many faces of the mother wound is the common dynamic in which the mother inappropriately depends on the daughter to provide her with mental and emotional support. This role-reversal is incredibly damaging to the daughter, having long-range effects on the her self-esteem, confidence and sense of self-worth. Alice Miller describes this dynamic in "The Drama of the Gifted Child." The young daughter then has to repress her own developmental needs in order to accommodate the emotional needs of the mother. A daughter is being exploited when her mother gives her adult roles, such as surrogate spouse, best friend or therapist. The message is there's not enough mothering or love to go around.

The aftermath of psychopathy as experienced by: romantic partners, family members and other victims | Aftermath: Surviving Psychopathy Foundation
by Linda S. Hartoonian-Almas and Liane J. Leedom, M.D. Psychopathic individuals take the lives of their victims, at least figuratively, sometimes literally. In one recent survey[i] of women who reported involvement with individuals with psychopathic features, they reported the following harm: There are five sources for the information found in this resource including the above survey. Psychological and Emotional Harm By psychological and emotional harm, we mean effects on the way victims think and feel. Life with a psychopathic individual is characterized by outright lies, slight omissions, and clever manipulations. It is not unusual for the victims of psychopaths to question their sanity and self worth. Psychopathic individuals may even try to convince victims that it is they who are “crazy.” Generally, psychopathic individuals are out to service their own short term agendas. Once an individual is no longer of use to the psychopath, it is common for that person to be discarded. Summary

Help, my Mommy is a Psychopath!
Psychopaths (also known as volatile or dangerous Sociopaths), have personality disorders. Less than 1% of the human population is considered Psychopathic by nature, but they do exist. What’s more, many of them elect to have kids. Typically, people who score highest for traits of ASPD (short for Anti-Social Personality Disorder), are hard to spot by an untrained person. Characterized by their use of persuasive but totally disingenuous charm (both overt and covert manipulation), they all have the propensity to revel in the use of pathological lies or deception. Totally lacking remorse for their pervasive targeting of their preferred scapegoat targets for abuse, they make their way into friendship circles, online dating sites, and into social environments seeking new narcissistic supply sources to use and abuse. Their continual vomiting of hate speech and projection of their own hyped narcissistic rivalries makes them the worst possible character type of person to raise children. No.
