Battered wife syndrome alive and well in Newfoundland and Labrador
The only terms and words used to describe anyone who would utter these words has to mean traitor, sell out, Idiot, Failure, Loser, so on and so on.
This is an excerpt from The Independant titled Losing your best people by Stephanie Porter.
Ronald Rompkey, a research professor
with Memorial University’s English
department, doesn’t view the current
state of affairs in such dire terms.
“This is part of our culture,” he says.
“(People leaving) has been part of the
culture since the turn of the century …
Look at the big out-migration we had to
the U.S. Boston’s full of Newfoundlanders,
so is Cape Breton and Halifax
and Nova Scotia in general. We were
doing this before Alberta even became a
province … we’ve never been able to
sustain all the people we have.
This isn't a rationalization but rather an acceptance of what your big brother has been telling you your capable of or more often than not what your not capable of Hence The Battered Wife Syndrome.
