As I read the story, I felt really sad that Christopher has a hard time facing reality. He seems to believe that there is a scientific explanation for everything. For example, when he finds the letters from his mother, instead of coming to the obvious conclusion that his mother left him and his father lied, he automatically believes that the letter is to someone else. Also, he doesn't appear to understand that his father really does love him and that people make mistakes. He believes that his father is dangerous and going to hurt him so he leaves to go live with his mother in London.
