[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this is actually kind of a big deal. It is emotional abuse. It is easy to look the other way because you can't see the wounds his words leave, but they are there. I'd continue to have some serious discussions with your husband about it. Start by talking, then maybe print out some articles for him to read. When you hear him start to say these hurtful things to your son, INTERVENE. Call him on it right then and there, defend your son. Maybe even invite another significant male figure your son loves (Grandfather? Uncle? older cousin?) to watch him play and encourage him along. If that doesn't work, you can go to plan B: husband can no longer come to watch son perform at athletic events. He isn't invited. He isn't welcome. Insist on him going to counseling before he is invited back. If he insists, have the coach talk to him. Hopefully that will embarrass him enough to convince him to reevaluate his behavior. [/quote]
