That about sums up my past parental problems. My mother didn't want to admit that there was anything wrong with me, so she just ignored my cries for help and obvious mounting issues.
My advice to parents: denying that there's something wrong with your kid is not going to protect your image or make it go away. It's just going to suppress the problem until it explodes and becomes FAR worse.
