Just out of curiosity, what were these bouts of “acting out”, and what alternative methods to curtail the behavior could your parents have taken? 

Wait a second... you told your parents you were depressed, and they sent you to a medical professional... and from that you learned to distrust your parents? I think you’re the problem, not them.

It is New Jersey, so probably. 

Yeah... judging from the replies there are different issues going around, than not knowing the child in question doesn’t like the activity. I would put money on there being a whole bunch of other boundary issues in those families.

When all is above board, this is a learning activity; things like this, that require…

Shut the fuck up. 

A little is ok, if I’m feeling playful. 

Yeah... tickling is a surprise game. You’re killing the bonding and learning experience.

Why have an apartment in DC, when you can sleep in your office for a few days (if need be) and take a train home?

This stuff is pretty damn bad, but... who the hell does this shit with their REAL IDENTITY ATTACHED? It boggles my mind. 

I remember a post a while back about wasting desiese, and they showed TB nodules in a deer’s lungs. Be careful about TB in deer, too. 

Thank Mothers Against Drunk Driving for that. 

So... a carriage tax?

At what point do we drop the racist connotation and view it as a loanword?

To everyone I’m just an olive skinned white guy... but I’m more than that. Several things more.

Your relationship is hilarious.
