“Everything that made Daisy burn, made me burn. Everything I loved about the world, Daisy loved about the world. Everything I struggled with, Daisy struggled with. We were two halves. We were the same.”
Don't get me wrong, JJ & HH's parents are bad to both of them, but I think Holt/DJ have it the worst.
In the books, Jackson's mom seems remorseful for not telling him he's a monster. And she believes she was actually protecting him by not telling Jackson. And at least she considers DJ to be her son too!

Entry from Jackson's diary:
Entry from Holt's Diary:
"I think," Holt you think you're 16?!
What does he mean he doesn't know how old he is?? Jeez!
AND ANOTHER THING! Not only did Jackson not know about Holt, but Heath didn't either!
