I hate this kind of ****ing drama. Just ****ing TALK TO YOUR OFFSPRING and clear up this ****.
Just once I want that kind of soliloquy to be interrupted by one guy going: "okay how is he supposed to know all that if you never tell him. He's not a mindreader."
Or in this case "what is the functional difference between you shunning him for being so disappointed and shunning him because you hating yourself for disappointing him so much. You self-centered asshole."
