i think you guys are too harsh on Charlie. everyone copes with things in different ways, people can stay in comas for years and years, their offspring can't be expected to be at their side 24/7. imagine what it must be like seeing your mum like that. instead of being so cynical all the time, maybe it'd be better to think how strong he must be to carry on with his life? i know everyone's gonna disagree with me, but seriously, so many people on here love to hate and to assume the worst.

and how do you know he doesn't have difficulties reading? if he does, which wouldn't surprise me, then he's gonna make up an excuse of why he wants it read to him.
