I believe that this was a very, very hard decision for Chris to make, even though he did it instantly and without hesitation. He had lived in that house for his entire life, and he was terrified at the thought of leaving it; however, he was also terrified of the notion of staying since he could no longer trust his dad, at least in his mind. Christopher had the right to leave. He was deeply wronged by his father, and beaten by him the night before. On the other hand, I understand the father's predicament. His son is severely autistic, and does not respond to normal human behavior. His mother leaves him, and dad does not know how to tell his son, so he decides to lie. This is the reasoning behind this. This decision was a very challenging and meaningful one, but Chris definitely was right to leave.
