Thanks for the 'love' I'm sure some people (and kids) manage to survive/deal with difficult situations better than others. There is a definite contrast in the story between Adam and Kyle who faced somewhat similar problems.

Thanks, Geron. Have to agree with you about the promises from politicians! I think Kyle does have regrets about what he was part of, but it is really 'too little, too late'.

As I said in an earlier reply Chris, I can't see Kyle's father believing that Kyle was forced to do things by his brother. He'd see it the other way round because he also wants to bury his head in the sand Yes, the minister pushed Adam too far.

Sorry for the groaner (not really though!) Yep, Kyle was in a very difficult and lonely place. Perhaps if there had been a GSA at the school things might have turned out differently.

Very deep in the sandpit to put it politely. As for Kyle, I think he has finally realized how wrong he has been about many things.

Possibly, but the indications are that he has little to no time for gays and he is never going to believe that his eldest son has any gay tendencies.

I can't see anyone else from the church getting involved. The Jacksons appear not to have had close friendships with other members of the congregation. As for Kyle, I see your point. But he was looking for love where none existed in his life and he thought (wrongly) he could get it from Mike.

Yep, Mike is the real cause of all the problems. As for Kyle's brother, I rather think he has used Kyle and now dumped him knowing if Kyle said anything he wouldn't be believed against the star jock.

He decided he'd regret it if he didn't, but he went not expecting it to be pleasant - which proved to be true. Kyle has sort of become a victim it seems
