Subject: I think everyone is blown away by what has happened. Denise never thought she'd have to defend herself against her son. She never thought she'd have the guts to stand up to anyone like that. Frank never thought it would be a problem. Jeremy never thought his mother would be assertive with him and threaten to throw him out of her life if he did it again. He never thought his father would do just that by hearing about it. These people don't know each other or themselves very well. All of these things happened, and they never thought they would.
In reply to: Ixia 's message, "I don't think Frank is abusive at all and I think people are being too quick to judge him on one incident. I loved the sweet goodbyes between him and Denise when he was being deployed, you don't send love notes to a man who is making you unhappy. OK so their relationship may have been old fashioned, but at that point their was no indication that Denise was unhappy with it, in fact I don't think she was.I suspect Frank may not have been a good enough father, but as he said, recent events had given him a new perspective. He received the news from Jeremy about Westpoint in a good natured and fatherly way (more inside..)" on 16:25:49 07/10/07 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> [> Also if Denise was perfectly happy with the way things were, and how Frank treated her, then she's probably never seen this side of him at all. This is all uncharted territory. They were happy in their little perfect 1940's traditional cocoon until their son got sick of his father's dictatorship and didn't know how to handle his anger. Denise is too sweet to show her anger so he didn't learn anger management from her, and Frank's household was being ran the way he wanted so he didn't have any anger to manage either. Neither Frank nor Denise expect Jeremy to be angry or even understood why. I don't blame Frank for his anger, I'd throw my son out the window if he tried to hurt me or my husband, but I wouldn't throw him out of my life. I blame him for his disregard for Denise. -- Theresa, 17:10:16 07/10/07 Tue [1]
