Good for you, Barron! Bravo! I have more respect for that kid than I have for his father. I hope you can separate yourself from the chaos! I can relate. My dad didn't even know that I was alive, and it hurt. When he wanted to brag, I was good enough. I loved him, but he didn't feel the same. Was never involved in my life. I didn't invite him to my graduation! He would have embarrassed me.

I don't think that's it . By the look on Barron's face he is clearly not happy with moms decision. He's 18 so he can do whatever he wants but Dad supported mom. What is wrong with a dad wanting his son to be involved in his life. Think of pro sport guys, they do that. A lot of dads do that, even moms. I hope she lets him do something to be involved with dad.
