A quick definition of reckless:

Term: Reckless

Definition: Reckless behavior means doing something without thinking about the consequences. It is when someone does something that is very dangerous and they know it could hurt someone, but they do it anyway. This is different from being careless or not paying attention because the person who is being reckless knows that what they are doing is dangerous and could cause harm. For example, if someone is driving very fast on a busy road and weaving in and out of traffic, they are being reckless because they know that they could cause an accident and hurt themselves or others.

A more thorough explanation:

Reckless behavior is when someone acts in a way that is so careless that it is considered very dangerous. It is different from being negligent because the person knows that their actions could cause harm, but they do it anyway.

In a court case called State v. Olson, a man was driving a tractor and turned left. He hit another car, but the court did not consider it reckless because the man did not know that there was another car coming.

Another example of reckless behavior is when someone drives very fast on a busy street, even though they know it is dangerous and could cause an accident.

These examples show that reckless behavior is when someone does something that is very dangerous, even though they know it could cause harm to themselves or 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.
