A quick definition of memorandum articles:

Memorandum articles are a type of clause in marine insurance that protect underwriters from liability for damage to goods that are easily perishable or for minor damages. This clause was introduced in English marine-insurance policies in 1749. Before this clause, insurers were liable for any damage, no matter how small, to the insured goods. The memorandum clause states that certain articles, including perishable ones, are free from average under a given rate unless the ship is stranded or there is a general average. This means that small partial losses are to be borne by a general average if they were incurred in a case proper for such an average.

A more thorough explanation:

Memorandum articles refer to goods that are described in the memorandum clause of a marine insurance policy. The memorandum clause is a provision that protects underwriters from liability for injury to goods that are particularly perishable or for minor damages.

For example, let's say a shipping company wants to insure a shipment of fresh fruits and vegetables. The memorandum clause in the marine insurance policy may specify that these perishable goods are exempt from average under a given rate, unless there is a general average or the ship is stranded. This means that if there are any small partial losses, they will be borne by a general average, provided they were incurred in a case proper for such an average.

The memorandum clause was first introduced into English marine insurance policies in 1749. Before that time, insurers were liable for every injury, no matter how small, that happened to the insured goods. The memorandum clause provides a way for underwriters to limit their liability for certain types of goods, while still providing coverage for more significant losses.

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.
