If you were Connor's dad, what advice would you give to him?

Oh man. The primary advice Angel gave me half way through the season - just get over it. Tough, life's rough, get over it, deal with it.

That's one of those things where you can say to someone, "You've got to go through it." That's one of the most frustrating things about being one of those adults who's been through some stuff in their life. You can look at someone all you want and say, "Things will get better, things will change, I know it's hard right now," but people have got to figure it out on their own terms and in their own way.

For some reason I think words don't quite work when you're trying to explain the facts of life and what it means to be a suffering human.
