Craig has the saddest and worst storyline. His mom died, was abused by his father, his father died, got bipolar disorder and became a drug addict at the end.

That psych evaluation thing you mentioned...one time in highschool, my friends and I were jokingly saying what we would do if we were dictators, and I totally said that I would make it a law for someone to take a psychological evaluation before being allowed to have children. Specifically so we don't get abuse cases...did you read my mind? 😂

He was abusive right to the very end. Even blames Craig the victim. Constantly apologizing saying he loves his son then does it again then apologizing then does it again and so on. Father's are supposed to protect their sons not hurt them. Being the very threat the sons need protecting from instead of keeping them safe shows the difference between good and evil.

@larrie9491 5 ай бұрын

Are you serious? How do you think he got the bipolar diagnosis in the first place? It doesn’t just show up does it? That boy has been through trauma his whole life probably, or after his mom’s death, and then his father started to beat him. His bipolar symptoms showed through the past few seasons until his diagnosis, but if you pay close attention in the first season, you’ll see the symptoms were already there since the train episode. Saying he was toxic because you don’t understand how disorders work is beyond me. Trauma makes you do stupid sh*t. It makes you say stupid sh*t. Makes you do stupid actions. That’s what Craig did and we didn’t know why, and were worried about him until it all made sense. Later seasons just showed how he wanted to cope with his trauma and everything, but learned from those mistakes. And what was he doing before that tho? Learning. He has owned up to his mistakes time and time again. His ending with Ellie was like a closure. Like he had finally found peace. You can’t call a person who went through such trauma toxic. He’d been through a lot and all he needed was help. He was better in the end, was that not enough for you? Cause it sure was for me.
