[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus. I have a 13-year-old who still needs his “mommy” and “daddy” in addition to his friends. 14 is still really young.

I think it’s normal and wonder more about what bizarre family dynamic is happening in PP’s family. [/quote]

From what I’ve gleaned from the show/this episode, the accident happened during the mom’s “week.”

So the 14 year old freaked out because his dad wasn’t around for not even a week?

That’s not normal.

Ftr, I’m not divorced, but DH and I do travel for work on occasion…and our kids don’t steal the keys and wrap cars around trees because they miss their mommy or daddy.

Aiden’s ex seems lovely. Why is their kid so unstable?

It just seems like a weird plot shift. [/quote]

Traveling for work is totally different thing than not living together all the time.

Well, for one thing, Aidan's relationship with Carrie means mom and dad aren't getting back together. That's a pretty big deal. He may be finally coming to terms with the divorce.

On his off weeks, the kid knows Dad is going to NYC to be with his new (old) love. He probably fears that his father will move to NYC to be with her, so he's worried about abandonment.

He's also a boy on the cusp of growing up, so this is a critical time to feel the need for dad's attention and guidance, so the timing makes the fear of abandonment more intense.

He's also at an age where he probably lived the worst of the conflict between his parents while being old enough to really see what was going on. That might make him more prone to anxiety. His older brothers may have happier family memories from earlier in childhood, and they're out of the house now, too, so it impact them less. Wyatt also experienced his parents divorce at around the same time the brothers moved out, so that also probably contributes to his loneliness and sense of abandonment.

I am mystified PP can appreciate any of this.[/quote]
