i don't think u get what 'trauma doesn't excuse awful behviour' really means. yes, u can't get off scot-free because u were traumatised, but it does explain the behaviour and thought process of the individual. it looks severe from what we've seen of his childhood,,, we can see why he shows a constant need for power over others. unfortunately, victims often become the aggressors, because they weren't given the help they need to recover.
my point is that while he needs a shit ton of therapy, he def isn't irredeemable. hopefully over the course of the story and their relationship he realises he needs to change. for his own sake and sayo's.
He gives me Heeseo vibes, if you know you know!
not likable one bit trauma doesn't excuse awful behavior
