A quick definition of petit treason:

Petit treason is an old term that means the murder of one's employer or husband. It used to be considered a type of treason under English law until 1828. Treason is a serious crime where someone tries to overthrow the government of the state they owe allegiance to, either by making war against the state or by supporting its enemies. It is also called high treason. Petit treason is different from high treason and is no longer a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Petit treason is an old term that refers to the act of a person killing their employer or spouse. This act was considered a form of treason under English law until 1828. It was also known as petty treason.

For example, if a wife killed her husband, it was considered petit treason because the husband was seen as the head of the household and the wife owed him loyalty and obedience. Similarly, if a servant killed their master, it was also considered petit treason because the servant owed their master loyalty and obedience.

It's important to note that petit treason is an archaic term and is no longer used in modern legal systems. However, it provides insight into the historical attitudes towards relationships and power dynamics.

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.
