By the way, I was the teenage son of a seriously loony control freak father. Just like the guy on here. He was always supposing that me & my sister were up to no good. I am also the father of a boy and girl. We did our best to bring them up without repeating the mistakes of our parents. Trusting our kids. Respecting them. The result: my daughter is now 32, a senior geriatric nurse and the mother of 4 boys. My son is 30 and is doing a masters degree in media studies. Neither is dead or in jail or addicted to drugs. Both are very well balanced. So please don't tell me that I don't know what I am talking about.
