I’m gonna end this conversation right here. Because now you’re just being an asshole. The fact that you’re assuming that I have a worse relationship with my parents than you have with your son because my parents didn’t act like you did tells me everything I need to know about your personality. I hope I never meet you or anybody like you.

You said you had trouble in school, and your parents didn't back you up. Don't be mad at me because I did.

I didn't say you had a bad relationship with your parents, I just said that my relationship with my son was strong because he had confidence in my support for him, who happens to be gay, as well. You made the leap that I also meant that your relationship was worse, which I certainly didn't intend. Plenty of people have good relationships with parents who weren't as supportive as I was, myself included.

My parents didn't give a shit what happened to me at school. I just better bring home a good report card, with no excuses. Bullying by teachers or students was my problem to work out. I just decided that my son wasn't going to get thrown to the wolves like that.

I'm sure you have a great relationship with your parents. There are other valid methods of dealing with public schools, but our situation meant that I had to monitor the situation closely, for good reasons.

My final point is: Don't expect a good public school education to happen. You have to coach it along, not just with the student, but also the school, teachers, and administrators. You are the taxpayer, you are the boss, and you have every right as a citizen to expect a proper education for your kid. Demand it, and make it happen, and don't worry about being POLITE

I said my parents didn’t threaten anybody. That’s very different than not backing me up. Thus just further proving what I said about your personality. Seriously goodbye.
