I would never talk to my parents again if I were you.
Freeze them out of your life...
It's not something I would do, but if he treates his parents they way they're treating him, maybe they'll realize they're being jerks?
On the other hand I know a woman who handles insignificant, petty disagreements with her children by not talking to them for months. She's been doing this for years, and it's stupid. It's not just her kids she does it to - she worked for my parents for 25 years, and every once in a while she'd have some disagreement with my dad and "quit" and not talk to them for a couple of weeks, but she'd always come back. Then she finally quit for good over another stupid disagreement, and she didn't talk to them for months. I think it's a bad way to handle disagreements.
But I don't see any reason to call him an ass.
