There is only so much one can do for someone who is mentally ill. If they won’t get treatment you can’t “force” them. Sounds to me as if the mom and dad were locking horns on how to deal with the boy as well and he really needed help.
In a divorce you know who will get the kid and dad will have no say.
So fine crazy mom won’t listen to dad who seems to have his act together. Now even crazier kid wants to bang small children and goes and kills them.
yea..the dad did the right thing he got the hell out of there.
Am going to say something that a lot of people here are not going to like but f*** it, it’s true. A lot of these Asperger kids are into child porn. So much so that parents have come home from church and had the FBI raid their home, had them and the rest of their family kissing the carpet as their homes were searched because come to find out their Asperger kid was on line downloading kiddie porn.
This man dodged one hell of a bullet. Oh hell he dodged a freaking bomb. The man does not want to lose his cushy job at GE over a sex freak of a son.
BTW since I know you will want proof..here is once such story but I can find you ten more if you want.
Very interesting and perhaps another understandable reason that the father was repulsed and withdrew. Yet he , more than any other person on earth, had the perspective and opportunity to avert this tragedy by showing up, seeing what was happening and doing something. Paternal responsibilities are not always pleasant or easy to exercise.
