Ffs be a parent and this never would have happened. Sounds like father is the delusional one.

His son was 36, his responsibility to babysit every little thing his child did ended at 19. The Father is not to blame for what his adult son had done.

Parents don’t stop being parents when their child turns 18. If a father believes outside influences harmed his son, it also raises the question of where parental support and involvement were during the son’s struggles.

Encouragement, guidance, and presence during difficult times are a core responsibility of parenting.
