<p>The language didn’t bother me because it was a kid who is probably struggling to understand why his parents can’t be married anymore. Most adults in my experience who divorce when their kids are finally gaining some independence have either had problems for years and years that were well covered from the kids or because the kids are gaining independence and they have been in coping mode focused on raising the kids with a hidden knowledge that once the kids were “older” they would call it quits. As kids age, I think they also develop a keener understanding of their parents’ personalities good and bad. I do hope that the OP can keep a relationship with both parents as time goes on and he can forgive or forget why he called his mom a nutjob but it takes time…I’ve seen it happen where the kids rebuffed the mom (or dad), only to patch things up once they were in their early twenties.</p>
