The whole thing irritates the feck out of me, I have to turn him off if he comes on the TV now. When it happened I was obviously heartbroken for him and his little boy, but now its just about him, him, him plus him over sharing his sons most private grief related moments. I didn't know who his son was before this but now he's instantly recognisable to most of the country, I personally don't feel that's going to be helpful for him.
If he wants a role model in this arena he should look to Jeff Brazier. He shielded his kids away from the public spotlight as soon as it happened and allowed them to grieve and grow up in private. He gave brief updates on important days (mostly without photos to maintain their privacy) , and eventually when he found someone suitable to share their lives he did it so slowly and privately so that they were able to grow into a strong family unit without media spotlight and all that brings
