This is pretty sobering. It’s a sad commentary on parenting when all your kid wants is to get away from you.

Here’s the full post so you don’t have to click it.
This is a terrible thing. Trumpism and QAnon in tandem appeal to some perverse, self-destructive impulses in this society and they’re ripping us apart from the roots. There is no more fundamental unit of society than the family and look at the shape this one is in, because the “parent” is dedicated to the unreal over the real.
This is a reverse of the natural order. Here, the parent has nothing to teach the kid and the kid wants to teach the parent — and escape for their own safety and well being — and can’t. No nurturing here. This is a relationship which is languishing, not thriving. No good can come of this.
This is both terribly sad and terribly enraging at the same time! DAMN these F*&King Q-Nuts!!
Oh, Nonya…I promise that for them, the damnation is only beginning.
He should know that he isn’t alone. I hope he can get help (and I wish his mother would).
His mother is likely past saving. Damn her for making him choose between doing the right thing and protecting someone who would never have protected him.
The only word I have is heartbreaking.
I was where this poor kid back when I was nine. It was a summer Sunday night, mid to late June. My old man came out as a druggie…boasted about it, really. I spent an hour to an hour and a half begging him to quit forever. He got angry with me for that. Then I decided to turn him in. Told my mom all about that decision. Mom told me what would happen to all of us if I did. No threats…implication was enough. If I didn’t want the bad things to happen, I’d keep my mouth shut. And I did…for a lot of years. And it never got any better.
THAT’S what this kid has been dealing with since long before he made the move I didn’t. It’s not that he’s not feeling anything. It’s just that he’s numb to his pain because it’s gone on too long. He’s got years and years of sorting through it ahead…gods, I feel for him.
Reading the comments and thinkong about the last twelve years, I have to ask…. Do you really think you are any better informed than his whakadoodle mother is ?
If you are still so clueless as to think us politics is anything but corporate monopoly and cia manipulation, you have not been being honest with yourself.
Anyone talking your game has basically decided not to matter. After all, if the game is so rigged that us little mortals can’t ever win, then what is the point of trying? Harlan Ellison had a definition for a “Jesus person” that fits your post to a tee: completely disillusioned with the world and lacking the strength to change it for the better. An uncharitable person might even call such persons moral cowards. Still, I personally think hearing from such folk is useful. It lets me know whom I know NOT to count on…and that always saves time.
Wondering why he calls her mum? Not from US?
Could have been a typo or auto-fill too. Thou shalt not assume.
