My husband Matt has always been very hard indeed on our son Ben. Matt demands respect has exploded in anger at Ben for years. Ben is now 16 and says he hates his dad and shouts back at him which makes Matt react even more. I feel so caught in the middle and dread them ever being in the same room as I fear Matt’s explosive reactions at Ben which deepen Ben’s dislike for his dad and it just goes round.Matt is achristian but is totally void of any mercy towards his son and his son now hates him.
