7. Shame on his mother for being so weak as to not defend her son and recognize his trauma.

Mon Jul 26, 2021, 01:42 PM

Fuck his POS old man, but his mom didn't go down the rabbit hole. Women who choose a man over their children--even at age 18--infuriate me most of all.

I hope that young man has a good support system outside of his toxic parents. I wish him nothing but the best.
