you could see it like that but it goes deeper. Their dad left when he was only three and altho he didn't take it too badly - so it seemed - he has always tried to be the man of the house. Then it became ' my way or the highway' with him, and now he's a 6' tall 14 year old, he tends to put his weight behind his convictions. He has a really short fuse. Immature, maybe, but that would lend credance to the hope he will grow out of it.
He is a demon, but one I love very, very much.
