Another excellent post, absolutely no complaints about it or how the story line is playing out.
But I have a slightly different question about Lawrence's home life: if his dad was the "only one who paid attention to him," is he actually better off yet?
Or is the secondary support/education supposed to help his remaining parent learn better strategies?
Because I get the feeling he's fifteen or sixteen, and will age out far sooner than it would take to completely reteach the other parent some decent parental supervision skills.
Are there going to be other avenues for /him/ in particular? Jobs, mentors, reasons to legitimately stay away from home where he's at least mildly neglected in favor of a place where the can ask questions and have conversations?
