[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone find Aiden's reaction over the top (the hysterical sobbing and saying "I should have been there.")?  I'm divorced and have a 14 year old with disabilities that affect his behavior (mental health issues).  I'm upset when things go wrong for him, and wish there were something I could do, but at the end of the day, I don't feel a lot of guilt - he's had a lot of love and support from both my ex and I, a lot of mental health treatment, and at the end of the day, he's going to have to work some of this out (or not).

It just didn't ring true to me, but I admit I may be biased by my own situation.[/quote]

Has your 14 year old gotten drunk, stolen a car, run into a tree and ended up in the hospital with broken legs because he was upset you weren't there?  I find Aiden super annoying in many ways - the hair, the coats, his attraction to Carrie, but I completely get his reaction to this.

I thought Carrie's reaction was typically selfish and unsympathetic - "bones heal"? - not particularly reassuring.[/quote]

“Bones heal.” Was such a stupid un-empathic thing to say. I was half expecting her to ask when he’d be back. [/quote]

I liked the "bones heal" line because it WAS thoughtless and stupid. It felt authentic, the kind of cringy, awkward thing that comes out of your mouth when something terrible and shocking happens that you've never dealt with before. I wouldn't judge her for it. Judge her on what she does and how she treats Aidan and his son going forward. [/quote]

This is an interesting take.  I agree, she was at a loss of what to say, wanted to make him feel better and said something awkward and unhelpful.  I think she is in over her head on this.[/quote]
