[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry for your son. His father's negative reactions to your DS's activities will run far and deep. Kids should follow their dreams, not the dreams the parents have. I have experience with this directly. My husband's constant criticism of my son and his activities (he is a kind, considerate kid who is a good friend and son) has deeply affected my son. My 17 yo and I are moving out in early January. I will not subject my son to such extreme negativism when it just isn't warranted. Yes, I realize my reaction seems extreme, but the negative dynamics at my house are extreme and and wearing on us all. I truly wish your son luck. It is very hard to grow up with such a critical parent. [/quote]
