Chances are pretty good she was emotionally abusive more than just this once 

THERE IS NO GOOD REASON TO EVER MOCK YOUR CHILD’S DREAMS. Jesus Christ.  What the fuck is wrong with you 

I hope you never have children. You literally think emotional abuse is okay 

Yeah, it’s the twelve year old’s fault for being hurt when his mom cruelly mocked his dreams

No, I'm sure she was only emotionally abusive and cruel this one time

That's an interesting way to spin emotional abuse

Fucking up at school isn't a pass for parents to be emotionally abusive to their children

If by sarcastic, you mean cruel, mock and threatening, totally!

What

Why does that bother you more than an emotionally abusive parent?

It's so disturbing 

Yeah! Everyone give your money to your abusers! They may be bad for abusing you but you're worse for being mad about it!

You don't maybe think her emotional abusive was a big factor in his dickishness? 

You're scary and should seek help and stay away from children 

I’m sure that’s probably the only time she was emotionally abusive to her young child! Everyone has those days where they want to cruelly tear their child’s dreams apart, ya know?

The mother that made fun of his writing when he was twelve and told him he couldn't do it anymore? Sounds totally splendid

As spiteful and emotionally stunted as the mom that mocked his dreams when he was twelve? 

It is pretty immature to mock your child's dreams and tell them they can't do it anymore 

What are you talking about?

I wonder what horrible shit you've done you're hoping you never have to publicly apologize for
