That's the problem! The mother has a "masters degree in counseling". What the heck is that?
She isn't acting like a mother. The parents are messing with this child's head too much. They are warping him and will turn him into a mess for the rest of his life. But, more importantly, they will "feel good" about how hard they tried to help him. They'll never take responsibility for how he turns out.
The problem is today alot of Parents really think their children are gay when they even just try out things for the first time. Awhile back i was dating a single mother. Her son was relly intereste in his mothers makeup and clothes and the kid was three. She kept asking me if I thought her son was gay. I said no and I gave him a stick and told him it was a sword. He never looked back now his mother is worried her son is a Pirate.
The kid is doomed. Sad.
