[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 32009, member: 3450"] Hi Again, I think I sort of get the picture! My other dtr (just turned 16) has a close friend whose dad is also very conservative and religious and so worried that she will get into trouble that he restricts her whole life, won't allow for the chance that she might stumble and make mistakes. She is very resentful but doesn't act out, just is sneaky and living for the day she can leave home and never return. Your husband doesn't sound so extreme but I think your son is naturally going to rebel. I think your husband in fact is probably spurring on the rebellion. Do you guys get or can you get some family counseling? Perhaps a "professional" could help your husband with parenting? My younger dtr's therapist has been really good about showing me how to parent her--I was really confused about what I should do because she has a dissociative disorder and I didn't have a clue as to how to "be" with her. Of course, if your husband isn't open to suggestions about how to do things differently it won't do any good. Sounds like you are caught in the middle, so sorry. Hope your day improves and hope some others have some good advice for you! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
