I watched TNG from beginning to end and throughout it tried to see anything to be critical of about Wesley and couldn’t find anything. What’s the big deal?

    I’m unfamiliar with his home life. I know he’s publicly discussed mental health issues, has he been open about whatever happened at home?

      Oh yeah, he went into it on his blog, and in more detail in an autobiography rerelease back in 2022. Plus a good bit of it in interviews after that.

      Physical and mental abuse from his parents is the short version. Which is the root of his PTSD and related issues.

        Damn. That sucks. I’m glad he’s got himself together, even if it is a lot of work some days. He’s always come across as a genuine and good dude.
