You don't have to feel sorry for his adult self, but do you really don't pity little child?
Sure his parents are messed up and that’s not his fault but out of all the ways he could’ve dealt with his abandonment issues he had to go and turn into a scumbag?
Well I don't justify his current actions, but people go different routes even when they experience same things, so yeah he's now a scumbag, but as little child he didn't do anything wrong and was quite pitiful since you can't say he had a happy childhood
Facts are that he had his fucked up childhood and things like that change some people.
He could have decided another way of behaving, but since he had to live in this society full of fake smiles, he made his mind.
I did not like his character at first, but now it is breaking up a bit, slowly. I like this development.
And btw you still have the right to choose not to be bothered by his dramatic childhood. :)
I don’t feel sorry for him at all his back story is nothing compared to Adele’s
