He might not have the ability to "man up" right now. It sucks, but it will probably take a couple times in rehab and some love and patience from family members. Addiction is real.
Sorry, but that's not a good enough excuse. Addictions don't make choices for you. What's real is the painful withdrawals drugs do to you. He chooses his own self comfort over the well being of his own family.He could choose the painful detox if he wanted. He could have chosen his family first, and he could choose to do this at any time. Your actions reflect what you care about most. Max cares about Max most. A lot of good men out there will die for their family. This douchebag chooses drugs over his family.
I definitely have greater sympathy for his children and wife, but I went through a terrible experience where my life was out of my control for a little while. I did not turn to addiction as a way out, but I could certainly imagine under those circumstances why someone might. I literally did not have the ability to see the end of the problem, and everything I did seemed to produce the opposite result that I intended. Thank God that I had a strong support system of people I could turn to in my time of need.
You said yourself he turned into a major jerk. All those drugs did was amplify who he really is. His classes rant against Utah fans showed who he really is as well. You can't self inflict pain on yourself then act like a jerk to everyone , and then garner my sympathy.
Sorry, but I've lost all patience for people like this. I'm tired of all the excuses, selfishness, and zero self accountability that runs rampant in the world. Self inflicted pain doesn't deserve sympathy either. There is plenty of "real" tragedies to care about. Max isn't one.
