Ezzo.info has response letter up
 
Linked on ezzo.info's front page there's a response to the website some friends of Gary Ezzo put up to defend him and attack his critics. I thought some of you may want to know about it.

I wanted to draw attention to one thing from the response:

Quote:

A Family Ministry Without a Family?
Readers have reason to question not only Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo’s believability but also their suitability to teach others about parenting. The Ezzos have not succeeded in their parenting relationships with their own children as measured by their own standards. On Becoming BABYWISE tells parents not to look at “the reasoning or logic of the hypothesis” but to “observe the end results,” and Growing Kids God’s Way says, “The relational goal of our parenting is friendship with our children” (emphases in originals). But the Ezzos have not achieved this goal with their own two daughters.

Sadly, several years ago, both daughters and their husbands cut off contact with the Ezzos, and they remain estranged. Both couples have confirmed this to Ezzo.info. One couple, the Luedkes, indicated that their decision was based on their personal observation of the same types of character issues raised by others and that it was done only after much prayer, consideration, and counsel.

This situation is a true tragedy, but churches and parents considering the Ezzos’ parenting advice deserve to know that the pattern of broken relationships they have left behind them extends even into their own family.

:tu
:tuThat is an excellent response!!!!! Very glad to read that....

Also interesting to see the state of the Ezzo's relationship their daughters. I had often heard the "cordial" quote used as evidence that things weren't great. I'm glad that has been confirmed but sad for those girls and thier families.... :(
