Subject: I don't think anyone is feeling sorry for Jeremy per say, its more feeling sorry for Denise. Once again she's the victim, & she put an end to Jeremy's abuse, & she was working on forgiving him & rebuilding their relationship. Then Frank comes in like a bat outta h**l, & in one SWOOP destroys all of that by throwing Jeremy out & what's worse IMHO, by totally DISREGARDING Denise's feelings. Its like Denise didn't matter, Frank was taking charge & he was going to make the decisions FOR her in regards to Jeremy. So once again, Denise loses out, b/c of Frank's actions. What Frank should've done IMHO is taken Jeremy to the hospital, where they could admit him to get him help with his anger problem. Then when he's released, like Theresa said, Inside...
In reply to: Theresa 's message, "I think being angry with Franks actions doesn't equal condoning the abuse. Inside..." on 12:32:22 07/19/07 Thu

Jeremy needs to attend domestic violence programs, much like an alcoholic with AA. What bothered me is Frank's bullying attitude, like it was a personal affront against him, where he totally dissed Denise and wouldn't even listen to what she had to say. That's not Frank's style, listening to the "little" woman, he's the male and he makes the decisions.

Its in no way feeling sorry for Jeremy. He made his own bed, and he (and Denise) were trying to rebuild. Yes Jeremy should've sought treatment on his own, but he's a teenager and they don't think like that.

Jeremy's anger is at his father and Frank's standards of upbringing, its just Denise who was the one home had to deal with it. And Jeremy used her as a punching bag....

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Thank you, Jennifer. You've put it into perspective for me. Frank's coming home and "taking control" of the situation 'like a bat outta hell' describes it perfectly. I was left with the same feeling I had when the PTSD soldier (forgot his name) was shot (!) just as Roland was making headway in resolving the situation quietly. The Army swooped in with guns blazing and settled everything once and for all! I felt slapped, betrayed, deflated. The most forceful response is not always the best. I hope Frank will figure that out. -- judy, 18:23:15 07/19/07 Thu [1]
