I have never, ever seen a picture of that boy where he didnt look miserable. I cant imagine having the misfortune to be him. He didnt ask for those horrible parents, and his father will destroy him or disown him for being anything but slavishly loyal. Just like his grandfather did. I have the utmost sympathy for him, until such a time as he harms others, showing he is like his parents, i will hold out hope for the boy to overcome his tragic beginnings and become a decent human being. No matter what barron does, i will always be sad for him.

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. You can see he really loves and respects his dad. All his kids do.
