Yep, I’ll stand by that. If you don’t know that your kid is depressed or you’re too blinded by outmoded ways of thinking to properly treat him, it’s largely your fault when he kills himself. And that’s usually what happens (again, combined with a healthy dose of kicking people out of the family for being gay).

Are we no longer expecting parents to be responsible for the health of their teenage children, or what?
