subjunctive proofing

Question

Usually, I don't like to use this site for things I dont think would be helpful others, but for some reason im having difficulties with the tenses in this passage:

The reaction of the father… Does the father’s reaction surprise you? If you were to make some bad choices and disappear for a period of time, how would your family react? (its hypothetical and how your would your family reach would be as if its in the present)

All the 'you's are plural.

This is what I came up with, but I am not happy with it...any corrections please (Academic or native answeres only please, not interested in guesses this time)

La reacción del Padre a su hijo. ¿les sorprenda su reacción? ¿Si ustedes hubieron tomado malas decisiones y se desaparecieron, como reaccionará sus familias?

Just a question on the English, why do you say all the you's are plural. I would read it that it is addressing the reader as an individual 'you''. - MaryMcc, Aug 5, 2011

It almost sounds as if it were supposed to be padres. And is it their reaction to their son's behavior? Not explained in English part. - 0074b507, Aug 5, 2011

its written to a class not to an individual, and not necissarily parents, could be brothers aunts etc... - toothpastechica, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 2

La reacción del padre . ¿les sorprende su reacción? ¿Si ustedes hubieran tomado decisiones equivocadas y se fueran por un tiempo, como reaccionarían sus familias?

Why doesn't cómo have a tilde in the question and is the ¿ usually placed at the beginning of the sentence in these types of questions? (asking, not suggesting) - 0074b507, Aug 5, 2011
