Some more Hikikomori news.

A mother leaves home with their eldest daughter after not being able to bear life living with her 35 year old son who has become a hikikomori.

The father of the household (aged 64) had been making dinner for their son for ten years.
The son started to become a hikikomori after graduating from university. He was able to get to interviews but never actually employed by anyone. The son would get angry after getting home - "Why does it never go well for me?!" He broke the TV, smashed glass and threw their pet around the garden.

The sons anger would always start with dinner being served to him. He would complain about the taste, throw the table and demand his father to kneel down before him to apologize.

After his father made the sons lunch and left for work, the son would call his father at work and demand that lunch be re made for him.

On a day off, his father seeked places like the horse racing grounds and the seashore where he would go to watch the sunset. He would also stay away from home in a manga cafe and wait until his son slept before he went home.
In the end, his father started to rent another place to live and only went back to his real home to make food for his son...
The depressing news from mainichi.

What advice would you have for the son and father?
