Fifteen-Year-Old Hank's Family Has High Expectations for Him and His

Fifteen-year-old Hank's family has high expectations for him and his siblings. Everyone is expected to go to a prestigious university and to pursue medicine or a hard science. Hank, however, is an exceptionally gifted artist. He recognizes that he is unlikely to be able to make a living as an artist, so has decided he wants to get a degree in art education and teach at-risk children and youth. His parents, grandparents, and even siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins vehemently disapprove. In fact, his parents decide to have him withdraw from art classes at school and even restrict his artistic activities at home and after school. This pattern is most similar to a(n)

A) triangular relationship.
B) inflexible family.
C) enmeshed family.
D) disengaged relationship.
