Angie M’s Reviews > Isaac's Song > Status Update

When Isaac’s dad makes him stand in the rain with the bike, it isn’t really about the bike.
It’s about control.
It’s about shame as discipline.
It’s about teaching a child:
“Your mistakes make you unworthy of warmth, safety, and comfort.”
And that… stays with a person.
Because the lesson the child actually learns is not:
“Be more careful.”
The lesson becomes:
“When I fail, I deserve to suffer alone.”
