I agree, it is far to late. He can only be helped by a professional now. I know a lot of teenager who say they hate their parents but not enough to want them dead or to pretend they are dead to get a reaction from them. He is a very disturbed, mixed up kid and he needs to get it sorted now before it is far to late and he does carry out the things going on in his head..
He also needs a stronger male role model in his life too. It doesn't have to be his mum's boyfriend, just a guy who he can talk to and look up to
