10/27 Extreme Parenting

Quote From: danagian

Dear Julie,

I congratulate you for having the courage to leave. My husband is very hard on my son and puts he and myself down and says he is doing it to motivate us. BS. It is cruel. My daughter is the lucky one she is not affected by his words and tells him to leave her alone and ignores him. She is a little girl with a mission and does not care what he thinks. My son is forever looking for dads approval and will NEVER get it. I am responsible for all that has gone wrong in the world and all that will go wrong per my husband. I wish I had your courage and WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK. I can't wait to see the show. These men put others down and are angry all the time because THEY DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for themselves or their actions. I wish they all would WAKE UP!

*DRL*

Dear Julie,

I too have the same troubles.....I found your story remarkable, it sounded just like me!!! My kids are 16 and 18, so I've been doing this along time...I do applaud you for leaving...I always stayed because I thought it was better, having come from a broken home myself....but I don't see that it was. My kids hate their father and avoid him at every turn. And it's all my fault according to my husband...I don't ever see it his way...he's a A type personality, perfection always...I'm further down the alphbet somewhere....P probably. I too just want to see my kids happy, I think they're great kids..this is a tough time in both their lives he only makes things worse. My greatest fear is that I'll lose them because of him!

Stay strong and I know the Doc will help us all, I'll be glued!
