Gotta feel sorry for the guy. Yes, he let this go on too long but mostly because his wife is a real control freak. He has so many problems with the wife he probably just gave up also trying to confront the daughter since the wife is 100% on daughter’s side. ---

It’s a rough one, I feel bad for him especially in a small family. ---

Yes, I feel sorry for him since he seems like a really nice guy. Don’t think I could tolerate what he endures every day…the women in his life are wearing him down that’s for sure. ---

I did not mention that his wife is the accountant for his company…controlling most of the money. ---

Oooofff, they got him by the goolies. It is indeed sad when people equate money directly with love , and a real low way to treat a husband and father. But in the society here they like to emphasise the traditional roles when it suits them, and not when it doesn’t suit them. ---

Most of these parents created these problems. They only have themselves to blame. ---
