Toning this down. YMMV on what counts as heartwarming of course, but it's kind of hard to argue a relationship is "awesome" if it involves abuse at any point.


* You must admit the relationship Christopher has with his parents is pretty heartwarming and downright awesome. They both have showed abuse towards their son, but whilst, they both make all efforts to tell him that they love him and show it. They both feel remorse for previously hitting their son, and they both scold others (for example, other authority figures) when they stress him. His parents prepare his food the way he likes it, and though both want to hug their son, they touch his fingertips just to show him that they love him and care. It is a good thing Christopher reconciles with his parents at the end, if not slowly. Not every child and parent has that bond, and quite obviously with abusive parents.

* Christopher's mother [[spoiler:kickingMrShearsoutofthehouse]] also near the end of the story. As with the previous, this is her way of making up for what she has done.

* Christopher's mother ending her relationship with Mr. Shears, because he objects to her son staying with them and tells him how selfish he is that he is inconsiderate of others. Even though, it is sad how Christopher's mother essentially blames him for ruining their marriage with his father, though that does not entirely explain why she hates his father, she does clearly love her son and want what is best for him, both his parents do. She even tells Christopher that the math test can wait, most likely wanting to be with her son more despite her even current frustrations with handling him. Though most of the adults are mean towards Christopher in this story, some of the major ones do truly care about him.

* Christopher reconnecting with [[spoiler: his father]] after everything that's happened. It was clear that there was a real risk that the estrangement might have been permanent, and [[spoiler: his father]] was all too aware of that. Even though Christopher can't recognise the signs, it is clear to the reader how much it means to him when Christopher acknowledges his presence again.
