Was Christopher's father wrong to lie to Chris about his mother being dead

[Ryan]

Christopher's dad kept a big secret from his son and lied to him in the process. Not telling the truth about his mother was practically the worst thing he could of done. On the contrary, I do see his reasoning for wanting to protect Christopher thus causing him to believe his mother was dead in order to make both their lives a tad easier. Nevertheless, Christopher should not of been forced to wait so long to know his mother was alive. Does anyone agree with me???

I'm happy someone sees this situation the way I do. Definitely shouldn't of had to wait so long. It's sad and he doesn't deserve to find out about his mother the way he did. On the bright side, I'm happy he went to go see his mother in London and his situation worked out okay. He deserves to be happy.
