Subject: They don't even know their son has an interest in architecture? Jeremy's anger wasn't built overnight. He resented his mother's weakness and felt she did not stand up for him. Denise siding with her son (probably a first) and Frank feels threatened. His wife lies to him because of Jeremy. Frank has an anger management problem. That he dismisses his wife's opinions is troubling. Frank should have removed himself from the situation and cooled down. He just saw red and wasn't keying in on his son's needs. (Just look at how some kids are treated like pawns in a divorce as each parent looks after their own interest). Why wouldn't Denise even listen to Jeremy when he said he didn't want to go to West Point? She has been avoiding alot of things to keep the peace (as my grandmother used to say).
In reply to: Theresa 's message, "What struck me is that no one expected Frank to act this way. Michael, Denise, and Jeremy were all shocked at how he reacted. They don't know him very well. He seems like a dictator who is closed off. He loves Denise very much and treats her well, but doesn't expect her to ever oppose him." on 12:25:29 07/09/07 Mon

[> [> [> [> The thing that got me, and I'll have to go back and look again to see if I remember correctly, was Frank did walk out when he heard about it. Instead of cooling off, he allowed the anger to grow and he threw his son out, not caring about his wife's feelings or even listening to her. I think Denise was shocked at just how much he disregarded what she was saying. She tried to stand up for herself and say that she was dealing with it, but he refused to listen at all. Jeremy's anger problems come from his father both genetically and otherwise. Frank treats Denise like she's a soldier in his command and "relying" on her to do his bidding while he's away. He's said that several times. It's something I don't think Denise realized until now. -- Theresa, 14:34:56 07/09/07 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> He did walk away Theresa but when his anger remained unresolved he did not want Jeremy in his sight anymore because he was afraid of what he would do to him. In light of the situation he was coming back from I doubt that he was able to turn his emotions off on a dime. He had been off fighting to protect rights and here at home his wife had not been protected. I think the more Frank thought about it the angrier he got. First that his son had done this, his wife had kept it from him, also mad that he hadn't noticed and then probably to find out the Holden's intervention had not worked initially probably increased his anger. He over-reacted. The jury is still out as to whether he will reconcile with his son. -- Jubellant, 15:48:51 07/09/07 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> I agree with this. He didn't cool off. His anger just grew the more he thought about it. -- Theresa, 15:55:14 07/09/07 Mon [1]
