My H was expected to be a 'perfect' son in a posh school blazer who would meet a list of often unspoken requirements, not allowed to challenge his parent's behaviour or choose for himself. His bipolar mother has tantrums and refuses to speak to people for years who disagree with her about Beethoven or the best salt, and tells my H that he is to blame for everything wrong in her life. His father talks about the weather or rugby, but has had years when he refused to talk to his son at all because he was angry with his choice not to go to university, to be with me and to work in banking. When drunk, his father will become spiteful and childish towards his son e.g. he left a rude note instead of coins in the collection envelope at our blessing in 2006.
Hmm, so unspoken expectations, silence, blame and tantrums...yup, that looks familiar wth Mr Mlc
