A quick definition of vadium:

Term: vadium

Definition: Vadium is a word from Law Latin that means "pledge, bail, security." In history, it was used to describe two types of security. The first was when someone gave property as a pledge to ensure they would pay back a debt. The second was a type of mortgage called vadium mortuum, which means "dead pledge." This was when someone gave an estate as security for a loan, and if they didn't pay it back, the estate would belong to the lender. Vadium vivum, or "live pledge," was when an estate was granted until a debt was paid out of its profits. It was called a "live pledge" because the profits of the land were constantly paying off the debt. Vadium can also mean wages or salary.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Vadium
Definition: Vadium is a legal term that means a pledge or security for a debt. It can refer to two types of pledges: vadium mortuum (dead pledge) and vadium vivum (live pledge).
Examples:
  • When someone takes out a mortgage to buy a house, they are giving a vadium mortuum. This means that if they don't pay back the loan, the lender can take possession of the house.
  • Another example of vadium is when a person pledges their car as collateral for a loan. If they don't pay back the loan, the lender can take possession of the car.
  • Vadium vivum is a pledge where the debtor grants the creditor the right to collect the profits of an estate until a debt is paid off. For example, a farmer might pledge their crops as vadium vivum to secure a loan. The lender can collect the profits from the crops until the loan is paid off.
These examples illustrate how vadium is used as a legal term to describe a pledge or security for a debt.

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.
