Oh, for crying out loud! Those parents suck out loud. Thank goodness your son's friend has a place where he can go to get away from that kind of crap. 'They' say that kids are so resilient... sometimes, I think that's a cop out, so that adults don't really have to look at how they treat their children. Because if kids really were so resilient, then this current rash of suicides and attempted suicides wouldn't be happening. Sometimes, kids ARE JUST THAT FRAGILE. Grown ups needs to act like grown ups - the assholes!
And it's awesome that your son can express his feelings so well and unashamedly! I don't have kids, but I'm really close with my nephew and my bestie's son, and both of them are very comfortable talking about their feelings. It's refreshing to see. Kudos to you for raising yours that way! :)
