A quick definition of amittere legem terrae:

Term: AMITTERE LEGEM TERRAE

Definition: Losing one's free law. This happens when someone commits a crime or does something shameful. They lose their rights and can be punished by having their property taken away, their houses destroyed, and even going to prison. This punishment is called a "villenous judgment" and was used in the past for people who were involved in conspiracies or battles. It means they have lost the law of the land.

A more thorough explanation:

Amittere legem terrae is a Latin term that means "to lose one's free law." This phrase refers to losing the legal rights and protections that come with being a free person. In the past, this could happen if someone committed a crime or was found guilty of dishonorable behavior.

When someone lost their free law, they would be subject to severe punishments. For example, they might lose their property, be imprisoned, or even have their homes destroyed. This punishment was known as a "villenous judgment."

One example of someone losing their free law might be a person who was found guilty of treason. In the past, this was considered a very serious crime, and those who were convicted of it could be punished by losing their free law.

Another example might be someone who was caught stealing. Depending on the severity of the crime, they could be punished by losing their free law and being subject to the harsh penalties that came with it.

These examples illustrate how losing one's free law was a serious punishment in the past. It was a way for society to punish those who had committed crimes or acted dishonorably, and to ensure that they could not continue to harm others.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
