Even though he was forced to go through this, his mother never made him go to any counseling’s or ever got any help for him to help him cope and go through this time. Instead for years he kept this sadness, anger, spite, and hate in him to let it out when he got much older. So much so, that when things went bad, even very small things, Aaron freaked out and immediately went to the worst possible solutions. In a bar one night, a man had accidently spilled his drink on Aaron and he took it very personally and decided he could not be treated this way. All the times he was hurt as a kid and seemingly abandoned, all came back. Aaron then murdered multiple people, started bar fights and did terrible things to many people out of spite because of what Aaron thought was “disrespect” and was really nothing more than an accident or could have even been a joke. Aarons problems psychologically or something that could clearly not be stopped and eventually led to things as serious as murders and eventually suicide. All because he was never given help when he needed it.
