If the woman thinks she is the disciplinarian, but is a bossy, manipulative kind of person, and everyone, including the father, is afraid of her,
How do you think the kids usually turn out? boys/girls? Is there any research on this you have heard of?
Watching your father demasculated can't be healthy for a boy to see, can it?

No it isn't good for him to be around. Any environment where one parent is domineering and the other very complacent doesn't set a good example for the child on how relationships and marriage are supposed to work. It could be a hell of a lot worse than that but its still not very good. The mother and father should be equals, and show their children that they work together to make decisions and care about what one another think.

I grew up with a very aggressive step-mother and passive father. I'm 32 now and until about 2 years ago, I was a friggin wreck! After a lot of soul searching and creative thought, I figured it out and remedied the problem. It is just amazing how such parenting modes (is that the right word here) can affect one's personality/self-esteem/life choices.

no, not at all.
i actually heard somewhere (maybe dr. phil..?) that boys in those types of family 'systems', when dating, seek out women who manipulate and have the upper-hand in the relationship, resulting in your boy being 'used' and 'bossed around'. definetly not healthy. and the girls turn out to think that being bossy and over-controlling is okay to do. again, nbot healthy. the parents should have an equal standing, not just a one-sided thing.

I think the boy would turn out gay. it sounds ean but not having a manly figure could cause that.

you should probably find a better father figure for him, or take him into one of those humane society things for therapy. he should really get some therapy.

NO, HE MIGHT TURN OUT GAY, OR WORSE ABUSE HIS WIFE WHEN HE GETS OLDER TO SHOW CONTROL.
