When Christopher found out that his mother was actually still alive and his father had lied to him, he freaked. He felt dizzy and confused and puked all over himself before passing out on the floor for many hours. His dad then came home and tried to explain it all, but it didn't work. Christopher felt betrayed by someone he loved. He trusted his father and his father lied to him, about something huge. This scared Christopher a lot because people that love you, aren't supposed to lie to you about things like that. This first lie made Christopher not trust his father anymore, but he would've gotten over it soon enough. But later on, his father tells him another thing he had been lying about: his father had killed Wellington. This second lie made Christopher extremely scared and he decided that it wasn't safe at all to live with his dad anymore. So, he went to London. I think that because of Asperger's disease, he freaked out more than regular people would. A normal person would've been scared, but would not have reacted the way Christopher did, like doing something so drastic as moving to London immediatley.
I think Christopher overreacted a little bit, but overall made a good choice since his father lied to him about two huge things.
