Exactly, asking a child to ignore the pain of seeing his family destroyed, instead of demanding that adults guide the child, the mother is more concerned about destroying the father than the son's feelings, no wonder the child later becomes narcissistic. with an internal hatred towards women if the first woman he met (his mother) prioritizes destroying the father 🙄 at least one of the two understands that the child suffers, with a mother like that for what enemies, with what example does he teach empathy to the child? son? ....pygmalion effect
The problem is that both of them are right. These perspectives are not dichotomous. Yes, Andrew needs to take responsibility for his abominable actions. Yes, his parents' problems played a huge role in his issues. His father's departure from the home and not being their to run interference with his mother's unreasonable demands of perfection that as a gay man he could never live up to was destroying him. Andrew, like Bree, acts out when they lose control. This family needed therapy "desperately" (pun intended). Sadly, Rex was murdered before they could make peace. Before he explained to Bree that she was isolating herself from everyone she loved.
@@xikititahx3I feel like you did not read what OP said, she said the mom was right. You wrote a whole essay saying you agree with the dad and how the mother is terrible when she was the only one who actually cared and took it seriously. Please kindly re-read what OP wrote 😊.
Both parents are right. Rex was trying to get Bree to understand that things that are not perfect still need, want, and deserve love. It was the basis of their problems, which stem from her abusive/neglected childhood. When her mother died, her father remarried quict a cold domineering woman who barely tolerated her as she was not part of her perfect family. So Bree decided to win her stepmothers love by becoming invaluable to the perfect family. It worked, but it locked her on this path for an unhealthy need for perfection. Rex had been running interference between Bree and the kids for years. The stress pushed Rex to look for over the top sexual gratification. It destroyed this family that needed help.
Honestly they're both right and wrong at the same time...... The mother is right that he should be held responsible for his actions The father is right that he is acting out because of the tension in the house And the teacher is right to just go with detention
What?! The mother said that it was up to Andrew to take accountability for his own actions and it was the father who said that it was due to the divorce and wanted to make excuses
