I’m sure it’s happened. I don’t for one second think it’s the reason parents are raising out of control kids. There’s something else going on.
We later discovered the reason for the rage: his mother, my sister, had molested him for years, and let her shack-up studs physically abuse him. Poor kid!
I’ve had custody, now, for eight years. He has been going through thereapy and has been home schooled. It will be tough going, but he’ll make it. It was not his fault, and I remind him of that every day, particularly that he is a good person. The bad people only win if they make him cruel like them. He’s one of the good guys.
