True. Even more twisted is that is far form the worst take on the father-son relationship we have seen.

This is what I love about this show. They made feel sorry for that SOB of a Sheriff. No doubt he meant well - he tried to do what he thought was best - (and for all we know that is how HE was raised) and it all went to hell.

What I really liked was that Hotch did not even attempt to sugar coat it. He didn't give the man a comforting lie about how it was not his fault, and it is not his fault his son turned out the way he did. At the same time, he gave the man a small bit of hope that all is not lost - that he can still repair the relationship - even if his the kid will be jail for the rest of his life.

And I love that the kid didn't get away with killing himself. It would have been the easy way out.
