Disclaimer: I do not own, nor claim to own, anything Glee related. Nor do I own the song whose title and bits of its lyrics I am borrowing for the title of this fic and its chapters (Mad World, originally sung by Tears for Fears, though I prefer the Gary Jules version).
Summary: Kurt is tired and hurting. When his dad finds out why . . . Burt gets angry. Very angry. In the meantime, a few people are waking up to reality and Kurt is not as alone as he thinks. AU after season 2, episode 6, Never Been Kissed.
Due to length, split into two parts (link to the second at the bottom of first):
Kurt was a strong kid but (it broke something inside him to admit this, even just in his thoughts) he wasn't sure if this was something that Kurt could just pack away and move on from. In fact, he knew that that couldn't be the case. Kurt was going to be hurting long after the bruises and cuts faded away.
