as much as I think he needs healing and a healthy environment this whole time has shown that as long as he's still a minor he's stuck. I relate a lot bc his parents were so similar to mine. and I couldn't get out til 18. was even kicked out technically twice. that rage he feels is so recognizable bc look at how much he has done to get away from them yet the system always drops him right back with them. I am worried this could blow up in his face but honestly he is standing up to them in the only way he can rn. they have gotten old and weak and he has the opportunity to have a kind of revenge. not that its always the best course of action but it is justifiable! and they deserve it! look at how the mom weaponizes her own trauma against him!
I love this kid and hope he can get out of there soon.
