It is. I was wondering before I started reading if he had conflict with his Stepmother. Very sad. One thing that I don’t understand, is why his Father would force his children to go over and stay at his house (for his parenting time), when he wasn’t even going to be there and at a young age they had to stay with the Stepmother versus their own mother? It sounds like he felt very forgotten in his Father’s world.
Sons roommates were Asian. Interesting because his Mother is Asian by birth.
Have to believe there were psychotropic drugs in play here. which tend to do more damage than good many times especially in adolescents.
