One of the things that I was concerned about is that people would start to hate River. That is really not what I want. He's been an arse yes, over and over but he really feels himself torn between Ben and Silver and he feels more responsibility for Ben. In a way he uses that as a justification but it is mostly genuine

I'm not sure why people would hate River. Being a caregiver is not easy, especially with one you love so much. Caregivers can lose their way as well due to stress and fatigue. They are not perfect, they make wrong decisions but they do not do it becasue they are evil, horrible people. River is still young and needs to learn a lot. He is up against a horrid system that is taking his humanity, forcing him into an impossible situation. And yes he needs to be taken care of too, and not made to feel so guilty. And he's not an arse because that means he is being deliberately malicious and that can't be further from the truth.
