Quote #4
I was an idiot. I was an idiot about Vera and about Jenny Flick. I don't know what I was doing. I don't know who I was trying to impress. I've asked myself for months now, and I can only tell you what I wasn't doing. (2.9.1)
Sure, Charlie feels guilty about how he treated Vera, especially after he got together with Jenny Flick. But he didn't really know what he was doing at the time, and how huge the consequences were.
Quote #5
I am instantly aware that she left us because she never wanted to have me. I am instantly aware that I don't want her to come back, either. (2.12.37)
It's not Vera's fault that her mom left. Heck, it's not even her cheap Dad's fault. It's her mom's fault for not being able to rise to the responsibilities that were dropped on her lap as a young mother and wife.
Quote #6
Now that I'm here, I see that Jenny Flick was like Darth Vader and that the dark side is enticing. But why did I turn on Vera? I don't know. Because I didn't want her to see what I was becoming—a sneaky person who couldn't stop himself from doing s*** he shouldn't do. (3.10.50)
Maybe it's Jenny Flick's fault that Charlie ends up dead, but he knows what he's doing when he starts hanging out with her. He knows that he's making the choice to go with the bad guys—but he can't help himself.
