Chris never had a chance because of who raised him. Had he been raised by more competent parents he would probably be working in a factory somewhere and living in a singlewide right now.
Worst part is, I doubt Bob was malicious by any means. If you read the letter he wrote for chris when he was giving chris his vinyl collection and other things; there does seem to be a lot of the genuine fatherly love. Problem is that Bob was just very poor at the actual act of raising and mentoring Chris. He was already really old when chris started getting into his teens; so he didnt have the energy needed to tardwrangle and mentor him since special needs kids need a lot more work.
If chris was raised by genuinely loving parents who were younger, more willing to learn how to raise special needs kids (Bob in this case failed), be mentally stable (Barb, shes a fucking nut), and be the sort of cornerstone that a kid like chris would have desperately needed, I think Chris could have turned out infinitely better. Hell, he might've had a legit shot at living a fairly average life, even if he was somewhat hampered intellectually. I know guys dumber than dogshit who still live average lives; no reason chris couldn't if he was raised right.
