Int hat moment, Felix didn’t offer his father the grace of trying to understand that just as he was questioning his new reality, his dad was also getting used to having a son who had transitioned. He made one mistake in mentioning Felix’s dead name through a Freudian slip, and Felix went off the deep end. Unlike Felix’s mom, the dad stayed and was trying so hard to support Felix every step of the way. This character treated his dad like crap and didn’t allow him the grace that Felix so readily demanded for himself, and that made me so angry at Felix since his dad was literally jumping through hoops trying to give him the most comfortable lifestyle (e.g., expensive tuition & hormone therapy) he could on a limited budget. How Felix was able to idolize the parent who left while treating the one who stayed and sacrificed so completely for him was beyond me. Cover of “Felix Ever After” by Kacen Callender
