[quote=Anonymous]Your DS is pushing back the only way he knows, by shutting down. This will get worse unless he is freed up to be a kid. You may think you are in control but kids have veto power in the most damaging ways. They can just refuse to go. They can act out. They can get involved in substance abuse. As your DS shuts down, he will feel like a failure. Look at all the things he's failing at! Music lessons, academics and even the one think he likes, tennis. No good can come of this. The problem is your marriage. You are a parent too and it seems like your head is screwed on better when it comes to your son. Why does your DW get to shut you down? You need to change this dynamic for your DS' sake. I suggest professional intervention -- someone to evaluate and advise you and your wife about DS' needs, and/or marriage counseling. You need to make this a priority for your DS' mental health.[/quote]
