I disagree Jubellant. I agree with Claudia Joy that it wasn't Denises place to tell Frank about Jeremy. That was Jeremy's responsibility. Frank very obviously has a hot temper and while your're snuggling in bed after just being with your wife is not the time to tell him something like that. And besides, when would Denise have had time to let Frank know about Jeremy not going to West Point? He had just gotten home. Denise can't help it that he checked his emails before he talked to her. I don't think Frank feels irrelevant in his own home, I think Frank is so used to being Alpha Male in his own home and Denise asking how high when he says jump, he's pissed off because he's not in control. And to take it out on Denise is childish. -- Army Wives: Celebrating the circle of friendship!

In reply to: Jubellant 's message, "I hate, the silent treatment. Cool down, to avoid saying the regretable, then communicate. When Frank stated he needed his wife to be honest, was the time for Denise to tell him about Jeremy. Maybe make him promise not to blow a gasket and let his son come to him about it. Frank learned about West Point from someone other than his wife and finds out his wife was being abused and that a senior officer knew about this before he did. He may feel a little irrelevant in his own home. Jeremy seems unable to face the consequences of his actions. Instead of proving he is sorry action-wise, he does nothing to earn anyone's trust ('talking' to Amanda). Denise and Frank seem to have had an unequal marriage partnership. Denise will find her voice by becoming the mother who is protecting her cub." on 10:22:15 07/09/07 Mon

[> [> [> I totally disagree with you on Jeremy as well. Jeremy has been owning up to what he did and working on getting forgiveness from his mother. I'm mad at Frank as well and agree with KH, Jennifer and Theresa. -- Kathy, 11:46:43 07/09/07 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> Frank must be used to being the final word on everything, otherwise how would he think he could possibly separate a mother from her child against her protests and not get some serious backlash? Denise didn't even have anything to say about it. He just threw her son out of her life. He even told Michael Holden to keep him and HIS WIFE out of whatever he did with Jeremy. He's not giving her a choice, and considering the growth she's had since the beginning of the season I don't think Denise is going to put up with that at all. -- Theresa, 12:14:19 07/09/07 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> ITA with your assessment Theresa. Claudia Joy was right on telling Roland about growth but not necessarily together. Denise has been growing at home while I expect Frank has been growing while being deployed. Frank is in for a big surprise from Denise. She is not the little wallflower anymore. I think the last thing Frank expected was the need to protect his wife from their own son. I think he can't look at Jeremy right now and he would really hurt him if he saw him. The more mature thing to do would have been for Frank to leave to cool off but I don't think he would trust Jeremy alone with his wife. He is embarassed that it will get out that the Major's son beats his mother. I guess it would be hard to earn the respect of your men if you don't even have that respect in your own home. -- Jubellant, 12:32:32 07/09/07 Mon [1]
