He talked with his fathers about it. It did not change anything.

I wasn't there, so I don't know how the discussions went. But he still feels the lies of religion, the addiction of smoking and the disregard for the people that loved him led his father to his choice.

I'm just saying be careful about generalizing this woman's situation. It worked for her, but it can leave lingering resentments even if unspoken.
