[quote=Anonymous]My son is indeed crushed about his dad cheating. What makes things worse, the dad pretends like nothing happened while living in the basement. Every night he requests a “family dinner”, and if our boy doesn’t come to dinner, he starts scolding him, threatening to take electronics, cancel play dates etc. When our teen comes to the forced family dinner, you could feel tension in the air. Dad starts nit picking on him, constantly criticizing the way our son eats, holds utensils, holds posture etc. I think he himself tries to relief himself psychologically from the burden of lies by picking on his son. He can no longer be rude or disrespectful to me, as I learned how to be silent, detach myself mentally from everything, and just watch. 
Our son is almost 15, very athletic and taller than my DH. He squeezes his fists under the table. Once he told me he can barely keep himself from grabbing a steak knife and stubbing his dad. And he is a normal boy who never was aggressive, kind with piers, even shy. 
I had to take him to a psychologist, as it’s too hard for teenage boys to regulate themselves in such hard family situations. I was advised to take my son out of the house as much as I can, let him avoid his dad, and make sure he spends more time with piers, more play dates, hiking, learning the world - anything just not be home. I can’t wait for school in person learning to resume[/quote]
