Is it possible to grow-out of the roles so many of us learned as kids, where one parent was the fun, Good Parent... and the other was the Mean Scary Absent one?
I find it hard to respond to this. I am not a parent, never married, so I have no experience, though I am an expert on the subject too, having been a child. I think too many couples in the end lose interest in one another and start fighting one another, while having children requires team work.
change can be scary. maybe they need to wait and watch. test the waters. who knows? plus, if an old board moved, it could move again. some people don't like moving.
It involves a team of two interrogators who take apparently opposing approaches to the subject. The interrogators may interview the subject alternately or may confront the subject at the same time.
The 'Bad Cop' takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy between the subject and himself. This sets the stage for the 'Good Cop' to act sympathetically: appearing supportive, understanding, in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop will also defend the subject from the bad cop. The subject may feel he can cooperate with the good cop out of trust and/or fear of the bad cop. He may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and tell him the needed information.
The technique is easily recognised by those familiar with it, but it remains useful against subjects who are young, frightened, or naïve. Experienced interrogators assess the subject's level of intelligence and experience with the technique prior to its application, as the technique is often seen as offensive and insulting to those who recognise it, who may thus refuse to cooperate outright.
How can there be TRUTH when people, facts, figures, words, and confessions can be manipulated by law for sentencing purposes? It's absolutely insane how trust cannot be had by man in this world.
INSANE how greed has taken over -- all because money can be had.
Isn't that the root cause? Money is the root of all evil?

Oh BOY!
This defines my adoptive parents, big-time! (And of course, my real parents were never allowed to be part of the scene.)
