      Honestly, my heart goes out to the kid. I had some very “weird” (read: abusive) parents growing up, and I suppose that was about the age I figured it out.

      Mine would make up medical problems and constantly pull me out of class and lied to me about not having a middle name for years and years before we went to live with my older brother at 16 (little bro came too, he was 14).

      Circa 2004ish I tried to reach out to my HS counselor about being bullied. She offered to do mediation between me and the bully, that made things much worse.
