I imagine that airing it out on TV is somewhat cathartic for him; perhaps also a way in which to get closure on the topic.
I also feel like he wants to inflict some of the pain he felt back on his parents, and embarrassing them on TV is the only way to make them take notice. I doubt it's going to do much to heal their relationship, but reading the post, I doubt either party is interested in a reconciliation.
- sdoering 4y agoI recommend reading about his Star Trek experience. Because in 'Still just a geek' he describes how unseen by the writers he felt. While his fellow cast was great to him the writers didn't seem to understand the innards of a teenager between adults much and so he actually did not get closure from "airing it out". The book is quite interesting and I enjoyed him reading it very much. Even if it was quite heavy in parts. He also revisits his own not do nice things about his past, his insensitivity and other aspects. Quite open and interesting.

The topic could be brought up the same way Patrick Steward’s own childhood experiences informed the plot. Wesley’s relationship with his mom is very different of course, but, if he wants to share some of it, I’d be happy to be the audience.
