The reason why the Beckham spat has garnered so much interest is because the fall out dynamics between adult children and their spouses resonate with so many in everyday life. In that I sympathise it's a horrible situation for anyone, the fear it could become permanent. Their troubles are magnified possibly because they put themselves under the spotlight. Brooklyn in particular has on occasions been subject to ridicule not least of all for being offered a publication for his photos by Random House at aged 18. Those were deemed very amateur. When he dropped out of his arts course after only a year again lots of public commens of 'can't stick at anything' but....he was only doing what thousands of his peer group do, trying to find his way, but his failings are amplified, they wouldn't have been if he had been allowed a private life and not micro managed from an early age. Parental manipulation at its worst is often exemplified in the entertainment world, pity poor Britany Spears. There is also an inevitability that a partner will maybe exercise their influence contrary to a parent, I suspect given hints in some of his and Nicola's posts thats what has happened. Parents going head to head with a spouse are more likely to be the loosers. Best to retreat into a private space and rebuild the relationship from there.
