Release your pity for the fool and extract your son from that environment ASAP. You only have one year of being in control left and its vital that you use it to iron out any pain points or character flaws you can identify with him because otherwise, he'll likely have all bad habits for the rest of his life

My father died when I was 7 and I grew up with a super mother that did all she could. But she was naive to the kind of debauchery I was getting into and she also never helped me understand discipline. I understood you should brush your teeth every day but I just assumed oh well if it gets messed up I'll go to the dentist."

Little by little they rotted away and I never could afford to fix them cus my insurance only covers extraction. That line of thinking was prominent in my daily life. Now I'm 34 and my teeth are incredibly effed up and I can't just have it fixed as I cannot afford it.

Had my mother been able to help me realise the absolute self defeat my actions were going to have on me, perhaps I wouldn't have spent the past 12 years learning all of it the hardest ways on my own by nearly crashing and burning 50 times. But I digress.

She by no means did anything wrong but in hindsight, the cause and effect of certain things is what it is and I'm suggesting to you that you may want to deeply consider what else your son will need to thrive as well as getting him away from that sucker immediately. Explain to him how his father treats people and he'll see on his own that he's being used considering the context. Then he will be glas and certainly wont be mad at you or be missing anything if value since that clown isn't contributing to his growth.
