I agree with you here and while I (the gr-aunt of this child) believes in an equal amount of love & discipline when rearing any child - his mother catered to him when he was young because his dad was around making their life hell and less than enjoyable... and now it angers me that this once sweet trusting boy is the one that has to suffer... I wish I could have ten minutes along with that man in a room with nothing but the dark and the Hulk on my side.
