various reasons. For example, I think his father's relationship with the other women really was the icing on the cake for Alex's negative

feelings towards his father. I think it really hurt his feelings, and he didn't know how to handle the fact that he had been lied to his

whole life. This probably made him want to get away from his family even more.

In addition, this probably impacted his feelings for abstinence.

Also, I think the fact that his family was so wealthy, and that people were out there homeless and starving, made him feel guilty

that he had money, and made him not want it. He kept trying to give these people everything, that eventually he decided he didn't want to

feel guilty anymore, and he wanted to become one of them

Also, I think the fact that he received everything he needed, even if he didn't want it, made him want to feel struggle

and made him want to work for what he needed, not have it handed to him.

I think that since his parents knew what they wanted him to do, and had everything planned out, made him want to rebel, and catch them

off guard doing something they didn't expect. He wanted them to feel pain and to feel guilty for how they treated him, and how wealthy they

were.

In addition, I think Chris wanted to prove to his parents that he was more successful and powerful then they were, because he knew that they

would never be able to do what he did, and wouldn't have the guts too.

how interesting..that's some great thinking and I agree with you. he did seem as though the pain he caused his parents was intentional

which is really sad. no parent deserves that. i also think that his dad

s relationships with women made him shy away from girls..that thought was all justin!!
