Tim, you seriously need to take your meds. The point I was making is that, for him, NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD, but for someone in his situations those things would normally cripple someone emotionally. Have you ever tried being 14 with a crazy ass mother and no support at home? The thing with his brothers just means that those are two more people who have abandoned him, by his way of thinking. I get that, for whatever reason, you want to believe that the women are innocent angels but they aren't. What you fail to realize is, that when there is only one girl in a family full of boys, the girl will usually get her way, especially with the female adults. This chapter proves that the two women care more about what the girl is 'feeling' than the boy.
Plus, when you live a sheltered life, things that seem small to others will hit you the hardest.
Will had to care about his self, his mother hated him, both his fathers were gone, and his brothers didn't have time for him. He was left in two houses without one person to give a damn about him.
