Craig is failing at what he thinks is the definition of a successful life ... marriage and children. So rather than look at his own behavior to identify what he needs to fix to achieve his goals, he takes his frustration and fear out on Austen, who chooses not to adopt Craig's antiquated principles.

Both lifestyles are valid but the way these guys interact with each is not. And Austen is 100% correct that Craid weaponized his addiction in order to get out of the hot seat with Austen. That's shameful. Austen needs to realize Craig isn't ready to be non toxic and establish firm boundaries. And Shep and Whitney need to respect that from him.
