Yea I totally agree with stagnate and Matches93 completely. It does seem though that his father left as he said "Will you remember me?" But, it is also totally possible that he abused by both his mother and father. The line "smack on the wrist" would usually refer to a mother scolding a child, she will not punish, or abuse, but she would rather tell the child to behave ;however, the father will abuse his child for being a "bad child". It's also likely that no one ever knew of his abuse as his "happy home" and "fairy tale" perspective would have left this inconspicuous. His father seems to hate him because he doesn't believe in what his child wants to do and his mother who's supposed to love him as a "baby" seems to hate him regardless. I especially feel like Matches93's comment on how teenage males feel this way is completely correct, i have been in this situation before and it seems like this song relates to my life completely.
