“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”
“I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”
Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die?
Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida
I agree with the emotional reaction. Still people are allowed to learn and grow. No matter why.
Did he learn and grow or did he just change his mind about this one thing? If he didn’t have empathy before, it’s likely he still doesn’t realize why he was wrong before.
