[quote=Anonymous][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]

DCUM divorced parents are notorious for minimizing how traumatic and difficult divorce is on their children. They selfishly rationalize that because *they* are fine (and have lots of kid-free time to boot!), all is well. So of course divorced parents on this thread are like “what’s Aiden so upset about”? They can’t related, as they personally feel no guilt or concern, as long as they, themselves are happy.[/quote]

I’m the poster who thought Aiden’s blubbering was bizarre and poor acting.

FTR, I’m not divorced. And I do think parents on dcum grossly underestimate the impact of divorce on their kids.

But haven’t they been separated/divorced for a while?

And he was only away for less than a week (he got the call during his wife’s week while he was in nyc).

Sorry, but it is not normal for a 14 year old to wrap a car around a tree because they missed their dad who hadn’t even been away for a week.

Nobody is saying kids should be totz cool with an absentee parent, but this wasn’t really the case.

Plus: I’m more concerned with the blubbering and bad acting. The scene would have been better had a serious, not crying, Aiden called with an update. A slow, serious cadence would have underscored his concern along with his realization that his kid can’t handle this and thus he won’t be able to make this work.

Relatedly, I’m curious if any of you posters would have been upset with your kid for crashing a car at age 14? It almost sounds like you wouldn’t. [/quote]

What parent would not totally be freaked out by it??
