It actually made me hate him more. Since he obviously knew what his mother was like given that he hated her and claimed to nearly hate Yeonduk because he didn't let him escape his mother. Weird.

No his issue wasn't that Yeonduk didn't let him escape his mother, it was that Yeonduk kept him from being with his dad. While these two things might seem the same, they are not. To Skyler, fathers are a refuge - a place where he can escape his mother's criticism and hated. He truly believes that his mother would've taken him to his father that day. I'm not saying that what Skyler said or did to Yeonduk is right or acceptable, but it really does put his words into perspective. I hope that once Skyler learns the truth of that day, he will see how wrong he was to treat Yeonduk so poorly.
This chapter did a great job giving us a peek into why Skyler thinks that Yeonduk is a fake friend who's only in it for the rewards. I didn't think there was any way my thoughts on Skyler's hurtful words about his friendship with Yeonduk would change and yet here we are.
