Jose Menendez's Tough Parenting Style

Jose Menendez's parenting approach was initially lax but became increasingly oppressive as his sons entered adolescence. He imposed unrealistic expectations on Lyle and Eric, specifically pushing them to excel in tennis while isolating them from friends. Jose's disciplinary methods were harsh, often involving threats and physical abuse, which created a suffocating environment for his children. Despite the family's wealth, his sons felt profound emotional turmoil, battling both his tyranny and their desire for approval.
