Summary:

Videos of the way Curtis Barrett parented Troy get posted online, how does the internet react? How does Troy react?

Twice a week updates until October 31st!

Notes:

This is my first Troy Barrett centric fic! AAAA!!!!

This fic is also an Angstober thing, but twice a week instead of everyday because I am busy LOL.. but I will do my best unlike my other fic "Lily R. entered the chat..". I should really update that I know but Troy Barrett needs some love.. and torture the way my fic is planned to go. LOL. Happy ending, though!

Some tags will not be mentioned much in chapter one because.. I cannot put all that into one chapter. LOL!

I hope you guys like this so far!

TWs: The F slur, homophobia, misogyny, rape mentions, Curtis defending Dallas, depicted child abuse (emotional and physical) and slight self deprication.

[ Family. ]


Curtis Barrett: Troy, do you call that a good fucking game? Kissing a BOY?

 

Mom: It was good. Him and the boy are cute.

 

Curtis Barrett: Troy wasn't this faggy before that team! Now he is kissing boys

Curtis Barrett: It was also shit playing! Does he even try anymore? It's that faggy team making him bad.

Curtis Barrett: Troy why could you not have apologised to Dallas? 

 

Mom: Dallas is a rapist?

 

Curtis Barrett: No the fuck he isn't.

Curtis Barrett: The women just wanted their 15 minutes of fame

 

Mom: Are you serious? 

 

Curtis Barrett: Are you? Dallas clearly didn't do anything 

Curtis Barrett: And if he did, they wanted it

 

Mom: Many women had similar stories and all described Dallas the exact same? 


Curtis Barrett: They all planned it! 

 

Mom: You sound fucking ridiculous. 

 

Curtis Barrett: I?? sound fucking ridiculous? 

Curtis Barrett: Dallas Kent is a wonderful kid

Curtis Barrett: He's fucking better than the fag we had 

 

Mom: Troy is wonderful!!!! 

 

Curtis Barrett: No he isn't! He is going against science with his bullshit! 

 

Mom: Bold of you to say with that vasectomy. 

 

Curtis Barrett: That is a man's right! 

 

Mom: But biology says men should be having babies! 

 

Curtis Barrett: It is my body!!


Mom: Aren't you against abortion? 

 

Curtis Barrett: That is different though! 

 

Mom: No it really is not.

 

Troy: Hi

 

Mom: Hi baby! 😊

 

Curtis Barrett: He's 25!

 

Mom: And? 

 

Curtis Barrett: Stop babying him!

Curtis Barrett: You are probably why he is the way he is! 

 

Troy: What does that even mean? 

 

Curtis Barrett: Her babying you is probably why you are the way you fucking are you faggot 

 

Troy: ???? 

 

Mom: Don't talk to him like that. 

 

Curtis Barrett: I am just saying facts 

 

Mom: No you are not

 

Troy: Mom it's fine 

 

Mom: It isn't 

Mom: You're perfect the way you are 

 

Curtis Barrett: No he is not

Curtis Barrett: He is against the rules he should be abiding by 

 

Mom: The stupid rules from when he was a kid? 

Mom: He is 27. 

 

Curtis Barrett: Those were LIFE rules 

Curtis Barrett: No fag business, No faggy movies and stay masculine 

 

Mom: He is quite masculine 

 

Curtis Barrett: Nobody faggy is masculine, Jules. 

 

Mom: It's Julia to you.

 

Curtis Barrett: Ok, Julia. 

 

Troy: Dad seriously shut up 

 

Curtis Barrett: You telling me to shut up? Respect your elders. 

Curtis Barrett: You may be 27 but you are still younger than I am 

 

Troy: That doesn't automatically make you fucking right.

 

Curtis Barrett: Yes it does!
Curtis Barrett: I have been around for more years and am wiser than you!

 

Mom: By that logic, I am wiser than you 

 

Curtis Barrett: Women are not as wise as men!

 

Mom: In college I always got better scores in tests

 

Curtis Barrett: YOU CHEATED OFF A MAN!!!!

Mom: 🙄

Mom: I was sat near women

 

Curtis Barrett: THEN IT WAS CHAIN CHEATING 

 

Mom: No it wasn't. 

Mom: 🫩

 

Curtis Barrett: Yes it was! It was clearly chain cheating! Everyone knows women are not smart! 

 

Mom: You say Troy isn't smart too? 

 

Curtis Barrett: He is not smart, he is stupid. 

Curtis Barrett: He doesn't eat as he should 

Curtis Barrett: He is so stupid he should've been born a woman 


Mom: Curtis, I literally have a higher IQ than you do 

 

Curtis Barrett: That test must've been made by the woke snowflake feminists 

 

Mom: What?

 

Curtis Barrett: The man haters! 

Curtis Barrett: They must have made it so the women got better scores

 

Mom: You are so annoying, how did I ever have a beautiful son with you?

 

Curtis Barrett: Beautiful????

 

Mom: Yes.


Curtis Barrett: He's a man! 

 

Mom: Handsome then. 

 

Curtis Barrett: No grown man needs their Mommy calling them these things

 

Troy: I don't mind it.

 

Curtis Barrett: This is why you're a fag

Curtis Barrett: I still cannot get over you KISSING A BOY???

Curtis Barrett: What is wrong with you?

 

Troy: Nothing 

Troy: Nothing is wrong with me

 

Curtis Barrett: SO much is wrong with you!

Curtis Barrett: Why would you embarass the family like that?

 

Mom: I'm not embarassed by him 

 

Curtis Barrett: YOU DON'T HAVE THE NAME!!!!!!!

 

Mom: He has my face. That matters more than name. 

 

Curtis Barrett: How could you let him deface the family, deface the NHL and deface Canada like this?! 

 

Mom: I want him happy more than I am hateful 

 

Curtis Barrett: Are you fucking serious?

Curtis Barrett: What kind of mother are you?!


Mom: The kind that loves her baby boy. 

 

Curtis Barrett: Baby boy and he is more than half your age.

 

Mom: Oh God forbid I actually love Troy

 

Troy: Oh

 

Mom: I'm sorry baby 

 

Troy: No it's okay 

 

Curtis Barrett: How could I love a faggot? 

 

Troy: Shut the fuck up 

 

Curtis Barrett: You can't expect me to be okay with this, Troy. 

 

Mom: Bye Bitch 

 

[Mom removed Curtis Barrett from the chat.]

 

Mom: Are you okay, honey? 

 

Troy: I'm fine 

 

Mom: It's okay if you aren't 

 

Troy: I'm okay, serisously 

 

Mom: Oh, baby 

 

Troy: I'm fine
Troy: I'm really fine 

 

Mom: It's okay

Mom: I love you so much

Mom: I love you so much I will love you enough for two people. 

 

Troy: I'm fine, please stop


Mom: Stop what?

 

Troy: All this 

 

Mom: Loving you unconditionally?

 

Troy: Why don't you hate me like he does? 

 

Mom: Oh, honey. 

Mom: I don't hate you at all 

Mom: I'm happy that you're happy 

Mom: I'm happy if you are, okay? 

Mom: I will love you forever, no matter what you do in life, you're my son. 

Mom: I could never hate my son 

 

Troy: Why does he hate me then? 

 

Mom: He is hateful and horrible. 

 

Troy: Why can't he just love me unconditionally like you?

 

Mom: He is a dick.

 

Troy: I wish he loved me 

 

Mom: I know baby, I do too.

 

Troy: Fuck 

 

Mom: It's okay sweetheart 

Mom: You still have me, you will always have me on your side! 


Troy: Thanks Mom


Mom: 😊💗

 

Troy: Love you

 

Mom: I love you too! 🤗

Katie Monroe  @KathleenMonroe: 

Just found these clips of Troy Barrett in the videos of my son's hockey videos... 😅 

 

Posting in honour of his coming out yesterday!

 

[Clip 1: A cropped down video that shows the back of 12 year old Troy, his shoulders shaking, being aggressively told off at the side of the rink, Curtis getting in his face and his lips can be read saying "Stop crying, you are twelve, not four. Don't fucking cry. Crying is for faggots." and younger Troy's shoulders can be seen going still abruptly.]

 

[Clip 2: A screen recording of the background of a video of Katie's son where a 13 year old Troy is seen being slapped across the face by his dad while he visibly holds back tears. 

 

[Clip 3: A clip of 13 year old Troy on the bench of a hockey rink, staring longingly at another boy on his team before a hand, belonging to his father, hits him upside the head and he stops staring at the boy.]

 

[Clip 4: A clip of 12 year old Troy crying to his mother about being hurt and as his dad starts walking over he visibly forces himself to stop crying. His mother is seen looking upset for her son and she rubs his arm a little bit to comfort him.]
