Listen, life is full of things that happen that no one can provide specific explanations for. Peter was an adult. He chose to go off with a certain subgroup of people and took whatever drugs. My understanding from what all the others have said over the years is that they didn't go with that same subgroup of people Peter did, so they didn't necessarily take the same drugs Peter did. Peter is responsible for his own decisions. And wasn't it like the 60s, not the 80s? This person seems to not know his own father's history, though he claims to have read stuff on it. Sounds like Peter was already "gone" when this guy was born and growing up. As culpable as Mick is for other things, that in particular is not on him. As far as his mental health is concerned, it sure sounds like Peter had issues before the drugs event, it may be that the drugs exacerbated or accelerated those issues but they were surfacing already. Often people self-medicate to deal with mental health issues. Seems odd to think that Mick alone holds some magic key to unlocking Peter's issues, and even if he did, how that would re-write this guy's personal history and relationship or non-relationship with his father.
