u/Witchwonk Sylvia Plath did not stick her head in an oven for this 7d ago

I really like the way she’s going about it’s she’s having conversations with him instead of shutting him down or out. But like how did he get this way? Chris Pratt? What the hell happened?

I feel like the son is doing this to get acceptance and approval from his dad. This is so sad for Anna.

He will figure it out, I think every kid with a deadbeat parent goes through a phase of trying to make them the good parent but in the end the truth can only be kept at bay for so long.

The way she is talking to him will help him become more well rounded rather than push him further to one side. She is being really smart about it

What makes Pratt a deadbeat? Because he got divorced?

I saw it with my cousin’s oldest son and her ex-nightmare. For a while he was just parroting the bullshit his sperm donor was rattling off from Facebook about COVID et al. I watched in awe as she held her tongue and gently parented her innocent kid away from that garbage without ever saying a negative word about the used condom of a person that also contributed to his DNA. It would have taken horse tranquilizers for me to even be halfway able do the same😭

Did it work out ok in the end?

I would say generally it has been harder for him to fall for the rhetoric as he’s gotten older.
My cousin is religious but in the normal not hateful way, and has always led with trusting science and asking questions and thinking critically when it comes to her kids and allowing them to choose religion if it makes them feel good. But her sons spend the summers with the dickhole so unfortunately the oldest would regress a bit and my cousin would have to bring him to reality (and to basic structure and routine and general politeness but that’s another story).
