There is a much deeper story than known to this author or those involved in this interchange within the family. But it is a good example of a high level of insensitivity by would-be parents who are in the grip of evil, and have become hardened at the expense of their own child and his emotional needs and suffering, because he was still capable of feeling remorse about his older brother and was yearning for love and nurturing, but instead got a cold and indifferent treatment from his parents with the seemingly symbolic gesture of gifting him the means of his brother's destruction. So we agree with the doctor here, that for the boy's sake it would be far better to live with someone else more capable of love and nurturing, and sensitivity to the boy's emotional needs and well-being.
There are many living lives of quiet desperation who end up committing suicide because they cannot tolerate existing in a loveless world and, if that is the circumstance they find themselves, may choose this extreme means of escape. While this is always embracing defeat and a karmic error, we understand there are mitigating factors and do not find fault when people find their life unlivable under the current conditions and choose to leave rather than continue living in agony, because that will continue harming their soul, and if they are trapped in circumstances beyond their control, leaving might be the lesser of evils in fact. So we do not recommend that as a solution, but it is always the hallmark of desperate circumstances and deserves careful study to understand the history and motivations of those caught up in such dire circumstances.
