#kent parson bpd

Kent’s parents kicked him out after he came out, so he went to the Zimmermanns’ since he had nowhere else to go. They trained him, cheered for him, accepted him, and even loved him. 

They even paid for him to go to therapy for BPD (theres a whole theory on that) like they did or Jack’s anxiety because the Zimmermanns’ validate mental health. 

However, since both boys where full of competition and mental health issues that they couldn’t cope with yet, their relationship was never healthy. 

When Jack overdosed, it sent Kent into a spiral where he blamed himself, Jack, and everyone. The night he found Jack’s body, he fled in fear and pain. 

Jack was out of communication due to rehab, but Kent never knew that. He only knew the news. He only knew his warped truth that Jack hated him. He never knew the truth, how Jack missed him, called him, and lost him. Even as Bob and Alicia fought tooth and nail to get him back, he never called, texted, or got came to the Zimmermann family. 

Jack went on feeling like Kent left him out of hate, and Kent always felt abandoned. 

As time went on, it morphed into bitterness and pain on both ends that’ll never heal.
