Sorry,can't agree with you in *this* case.That fat,worthless,pig is the *reason* the kid's screwed up.
Sympathy for the kid? Absolutely.Sympathy for Rosie O'Donuts? No way,Jose.
That may be true, but decent parents also end up with “troubled kids” as well. These kids emotionally bully their whole family, sometimes for decades. It’s a living hell.
Likewise, many people who have had a tough childhood or bad parents can manage to grow up and lead decent lives. At some point it is not about your past it is about you. Blaming the parents (or other family members) becomes just an excuse to not have to grow up and be a responsible person.
