[quote=Anonymous]Pain (and anything really) is subjective. Nobody knows how bad it is but the person feeling something. Nobody has the right and ever should diminish someone else's physical, mental, emotional, whatever sensation. I have been blamed to "yell wolf" my entire childhood until FINALLY in adulthood, when I was not relying on my parents anymore to see a doctor it turned out I have Sensory Processing disorder and am actually very seriously hypersensitive to pain. Which means I feel it stronger than normal people, not that I feel the same amount but handle it worse.

Not saying that's what's going on. Just explaining why it is important to respect whatever sentiment someone shares with you. You might not feel the same. You might not be able to understand. But for that person in that moment they are sharing THEIR reality. It is just as real as yours is to you. If you think he faked his pain think about why. Could it be because he wasn't comfortable telling you he wanted to leave because you tend to get oh so furious if your kid doesn't bite his tongue, pull himself together, doesn't whimp or whine and works through it? Sounds likely to me from what you wrote.[/quote]
