This fucked me up big time. It's good for Dweezil he's not depressed, suicidal and had a stable family with stable income. For people who aren't so lucky, life sucks.
I mean, come on! By the time I was 15 I'd seen and had enough misery to
fill a bad soap opera, by the time he was 15 he described how bad it is to pick up the phone and discover it's not for you.
You sound like a fucking asshole where you totally make up and or assholiate out of context.
Where you state
"by the time he was 15 he described how bad it is to pick up the phone and discover it's not for you" Literally DZ dealt with picking up the phone by the time he was a toddler like most kids,
but throughout life DZ just dealt with issues where others could not.

Q: When did you realize that your dad was different from everyone else?
DZ: I think it was pretty obvious early on. I would go to friends' houses, and they were run rather differently. Most kids wanted to come to our house because it had a very different kind of structure. The kids had freedom. At our house there wasn't a real issue how you expressed yourself. We didn't go out of our way to use profanity. There was an appropriate time and place for that language. It was used to best make a point.
Q: You take the taboo out of it.
DZ: Exactly. We did that about everything. Look at the way my family grew up as opposed to other Hollywood families. I've never smoked a cigarette, never taken a drug, never been drunk. Compare that to the rest of the Hollywood kids, many of whom have been in jail or rehab. They say, "Life has been so miserable." Give me a break. But people figured that my siblings and I with the screwed-up, crazy names would be the troubled kids. We ended up being smart and creative due to how we were raised. We learned right from wrong. What I left our house with was the belief that no matter what you do, do it the best you can and be of some value to society.
The point here is that the Zappa family had an openness
in dealing with issues. That has been documented in
quite a few interviews in the last 30 years. Society may have called
the Zappa family weird in comparison to themselves
but the Zappa family model worked quite well in comparison
to their geographical peers and the American way of life.
Most families be it Middle America
or the typical Beverly Hills hands off parenting these
families have all these social protocol or lack of
being there barriers that inhibit not only education
but common sense reaction to what may come up
in a growing child's life. Even when pareting is there they teach
ignorance.
Metaphorically speaking every day we reach
a fork in the road where wen we pick up the phone
it's not so much who is on the phone
or who the call is for but we really must ask
is the person who is picking up the phone there.
Everybody has problems! It's how an individual deals with
problems and the Zappa's generally are well rehearsed
in not only dealing with problems but have a
strong common sense not to fall into the hole
that many people fall into over and over
and over and over and over and over.
Families and kids that fall into holes such as drugs.
