At least season 2. Either sitting on his fake leather couch or on my $200 IKEA monstrosity. I will show him the warning signs that were always there for Craig’s bipolar disorder. (No diagnosis til season 4.) I’ll point out how his stern father’s abuse may have led to these symptoms– I’ll hide the way I’m projecting. We will watch the pain that Craig’s father caused in him. Sometimes Craig is his father’s son, but what choice does he have? After Craig’s father’s likely-suicide, I will click off the tv. My dad and I will see ourselves reflected on the screen.
