My email notification for your original comment showed it just cutting off after SAAAAAAAAAAM, and I think my first assumption that you short-circuited because SAAAAAAAAAAAM was a pretty fair one, ngl.
Totally understand you relating to the storyline on that level - I do think it's a great topic for discussion on Glee, and it makes sense to show a parent objecting - I just wish it weren't so black-and-white, you know? Like, couldn't they show a parent saying, "I'm worried about the life you're choosing, because it could lead to a lot of heartbreak for you, and you're my kid and that scares me," and then the kid saying, in turn, "I know you're worried, but I love this, and I have to explore it or I'll regret it." Sure, it wouldn't be as dramatic as what happened with Mike and his dad, but it would've been more effective, imo.
I HAVE BEEN FLAILING OVER THE AIWFC VIDEO ALL DAY, OMG. They are just the cutest together and I want to throw confetti all over life.
