I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blindly believe their kid and somehow' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'accepted contrary view' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'accepted' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
