Of all the kids Herschel has, he chose to be in THAT kids life?!?!?! Imagine if he wasn't in Christian's life? The kind of man he would be.
Christian is fucked up BECAUSE he grew up with Herschel tbh.
Theres a video(anti walker campaign ad) going around in Georgia where he pretty much admits to abusing his ex wife(Christian's mom) and threatening to kill them all and police. He grew up in a fucked up household with a battered woman and a violent dad suffering from brain injury. Its sad.
