Elliot Rodger was also given a copy of “The Present” by his parents in response to his emotional distress, so i think it’s fair to look at his home as a place of emotional neglect, possibly bullying.

edit: The Secret, not The Present

I dont know what you mean by "The present" here. They allowed him to homeschool and isolate himself, so they were enablers, I would agree with that. He does not report being bullied by them in his manifesto.

He socialized basically exclusively online before going to the college.
