There were red flags all over him back then already. He liked her because she was broken and pretty. Predators go after her kind. He wanted someone he could tie and always have below himself. The signs were all there... His whole mindset is based on low self esteem, that's why he only got worse and worse. He saw himself in a bad place, he saw her in a worse one and that made him feel not so low. Afterwards he kept pushing her down so she'd depend on him, she was perfect because she was already isolated and alone. That's how that kind of people work. They push a little, see themselves get away, they push a little more... They can't control their circumstances so they look for someone they can control. It makes them feel important. Such low self esteem is actually sad, but never an excuse for someone to break someone else down in order to feel it less.
