What a sorry excuse.
Individuals all have their own way of recovering from depression or effects from cults life aversities etc.
Nate's way of recovering was in a way rebellion, revenge on what they did.
If someone raped your daughter, would you not want to go back and bash the guy up? or take him to court, or just stand there and say "well its in the past, even if the effects stand and my daugher is pregnent.
When you are phycologically harmed you react in a more abnormal way, even to the average Joe may think "oh your an Idiot for the way you behaved!" It may look like that, but you need the "wisdom" to understand what the person is going through.
An example of this "wisdom" is imagine this.
A Father and his children go to a local cafe, the father sits down and reads the newspaper, his children run around like lunatics messing everything up and flipping chairs over... (kids about, 8 years old) The father did not react, he just sat there and continued on with the newspaper.
The people got slightly agitated and wondered why the Father was not doing anything...
Finally a person who is sitting next to the Dad asks "Your kids are messing everything up, arn't you gonna do something about it?"
*right now you would think the Dad is just crazy not doing anythign about it and the kids are immature etc.*
The Dad then softly says "I'm sorry, my wife just died, the kids just lost their mother"
Finally you see it from a different angle, kids that age would not know how to handle such a life issue properly and that would be their reaction.
You gain this "Wisdom" and you understand from a different perspective not first impression.
So weather its like this with Nate I don't know...
There does need to be limits e.g. pretending to be the minister from a methodist church... but if thats his way of recovering and if thats his reaction then give him a break...
