Thanks for writing this story.
Paul has failed Craig by not getting him to see a counsellor after his mother was killed.
Paul should have also seen a counsellor himself to not only help him deal with the loss of his wife, but to be a support for Craig and dealing with the loss of his second parent.
I don’t think that putting Craig in jail is the right answer either because he seriously needs help to understand his actions as to why he did what he did to both Tania and Nick, he needs counselling and I doubt very much that he will get that in jail and after he is realised it maybe to late as he will have dwelled on what he has done for years. The world we live in still has a strong culture of toxic masculinity and that is destroying our men as a lot of men don’t talk about their issues as it is often seen as your being either weak or a wimp, instead of telling guys to toughen up, we need to be able to talk openly about things, instead of just filing it away and not be dealt with. I think that if more guys talk about themselves and seek help when they need it there maybe less rape, aggression and alcoholism.
A lot of our issues come from ignorance and religious propaganda,
religion and the guilt that is associated with it has a lot to answer for as it has created of lot of this mess that we are in and the sooner that people wake up to that fact the better off we will be.
