Barry and Father

This Act was so sad.  I cried a lot.  It made me so sad when Barry's dad came.  I sort of felt bad for both of them.  I felt bad for Barry because he never sees his dad and was worried about impressing him and when he got there Barry went completely silent and didn't know what to say.  Then Barry's dad moved the sign and didn't really make it sound like it was a great job.  Then when his dad hit him Barry got so scared and then his dad quickly started to leave and right when he was leaving Barry said that he was a golf pro and it broke my heart.  His dad got so nervous and all Barry wanted was to make him happy and proud like he was so proud of his dad and all the big things he had done in his life.  I felt bad for Barry's dad because you could tell that Barry's mom was the one that took great care for Barry.  His dad even recognizes it a bit when he said his mother oved him so much and he meant so much to her.  But it was sad because he didnt say anything about how Barry was the treasure in his life.  I understand that must be scary to not know how to deal with your son being different and nervous to do anything different to him.  Thats why he sent him away I feel because his mom died and his dad didn't know what to do.  Also his dad does try to constantly send him a gift of the same thing and he does feel bad not bringing it 

I know the dad should have put more time and effort into Barry and if he had maybe Barry wouldn't be so alone, but it also must be so scary to have a child like that.  But there is no excuse to just not care for Barry
