[QUOTE="Dancerat, post: 607728, member: 14984"] Thank you for your reply. My son has played piano since he was 6, and usually plays every night for a few hours. I think that's going to be the hardest for him, because it's part of his routine. This girl hates his playing. Well, I don't know how she can, because he plays and sings so beautifully. I think it's just a control issue for her. It's one of the few things she could not control. I used to hear her ridicule his playing, and for awhile he wouldn't play at all while she was over. She cut him completely off from all his friends, he had to delete all of his female friends from FB, and is not allowed to talk to anyone she doesn't approve of. It's like... Shades Of Gray, YA style. In reverse. I'll probably be posting a lot here on this forum. Again, I am lucky because I have the support of my husband and my daughters, and we are all on the same page. I have to have faith that he will figure it out. Crazy eventually shines through, right? He should eventually figure this out. I wish there was a success story forum area so I could hopefully read where some young men have figured it out. At least the weather here is pretty and not horrible yet, the street kids are actually pretty nice and he's not drug addled. Unless you count this girlfriend as a drug, which I kinda do.
