I’d shed some tears for Bobby who I don’t know for what reason ‘forced’ to reveal or expose his ‘private’ life to people who can not share understanding or feel sympathy for him.
He has many issues, abandon issue is just one of those. His mother’s abandonment gives the world a brilliant detective yet a person who live in real torture and seek for reassurance all the time. He does not want to become his father and he did not even though abandoned again emotionally by his own sick mother.
Is it a gift or a test for him to live in this way? Those experiences enable him to think in those ctiminals shoes yet made him unable to believe that he is a good person and deserve to be happy.
