[quote=Anonymous]My dad was and is like this. It ruined us!! Please help your son and don't allow this. My mom didn't ever stand up for us, or try to stop any of the craziness.

My brother was awesome in football and baseball as a kid and young teen. My dad is a narcissist and feels we are an extension of him, property of his. Dad was almost pro in ball, so felt entitled. He was so hard on my db and coaches that it became too much to take. At 15, db started smoking pot and drinking, then hard drugs. Long story, but dad just made it worse by kicking him out and threatening all adults in our lives to stay out of it.

My brother spent a winter sleeping with homeless people, trying every drug available. He managed to graduate high school, but not much else. College pressure was too much. We were criticized for not starting at the top of any job - we're too good to work our way up from beginner positions. It doesn't end!

I have no relationship with my dad as an adult, and many years of therapy have been necessary. My db barely sees dad. The last time he went there, my dad was still threatening him.

I love the post above with six simple words!  [/quote]
