From when was anything easy to avoid? When he was an abused orphan with no education or support? Or after he was an escaped orphan with no guidance or education emotionally/intellectually in constant survival mode and burnout? Or should it have been easy when he abruptly stopped drugs, suffered withdrawals, and intrusive thoughts made him think about his trauma, with no idea how to process it?

I never said his situation was easy to escape from, what i meant was that they could easily talk to each other and avoid this miscommunication, both felt they were harmful to each other and it was easy to resolve that by properly talking to each other. They ARE a support system to each other, and I do believe they can be good to each other, just not like this.
Everything you just said was deeply tragic and enraging, it goes far beyond simple miscommunication and it's obviously more complicated that my comment made it seem bc i didn't explain myself properly, i'm sorry

Nooo! Thank you, you don't have to apologize! I knew it would seem like I was mad, but I wanted to speak my mind (and I actually did want to understand your opinion). Yeah, technically there's an easy fix. But fixing anything isn't easy when you don't know how to start, what to fix, or what right looks like. If you put two ignorant dunderheads to work together, you're gonna get dunderhead results
Just like there's nonsensical porn there's nonsensical tragedy, like all this could've been avoided so easily LOL but i guess the author's incest fetish took priority
