Aaron was, at his core, an addict. He hid from responsibility, from blame, and from himself- which is classic addict behavior, but a lot of it was self-inflicted. He and his 'fiancé' (fellow addict/enabler) Melanie, seemed to somehow feed off of each other, and dragging nothing but leeches into their orbit. They were so encompassed in their addiction that their child was removed from the home, and yet it wasn't enough to drag him from the grips of this insane addiction.
That his sister also passed away from addiction should be an indication that their life was nothing but turmoil, tumultuous and painful and all these leeches who reveal themselves in this show, and with a straight face purport to be supporters of his, should reveal a lot to anyone willing to look beneath the surface.
This Dr. Trevor needs to sit down, as an ER doctor, his expertise is nowhere near an addiction specialist- he should have immediately been directing this young man to an inpatient treatment center with qualified psychiatric care and physicians to set him on a recovery path, instead of this ridiculous 'big brother' role he reports to have taken on- Aaron had a big brother who, after decades of abuse from Aaron, had finally come to the last resort those of us suffering with addicts come to, walking away when we can no longer endure the abuse, the theft, the constant blame heaped upon us, and Trevor should have been a doctor. Nothing more, nothing less.
Who is this absolute moron, Melanie, anyway? I understand she's his fiancé, but giving her even an half second of screen time is irresponsible- she supported his addictions, and that she has any role in the child's life is abhorrent.
This mealymouthed soap opera style show is no better than anything TMZ puts out- because Aaron was a pseudo star for five minutes doesn't mean he should be canonized and shrines built in his honor. A lot of people did a lot of things to perpetuate his spiral into the depths, and ABC seems intent to capitalize on that.
