The stepmother was sooo graceful, mature and kind to fl. Meanwhile her husband, the actual...

He didn’t cheat, he was raped

he didn't cheat

I read some spoilers and the Duke don't cheat on his wife, but anyways, that's not an excuse to mistreat Olivia

Spoliers without warning damn okay :/ but it doesn't even excuse his behavior. It's not the daughter's fault, she's still his child and he made her life miserable

the spoiler has been their since day 1 and you cant just invalidate a rape victim's feeling saying they need to take care of the child it's their choice (im not defending him btw just in general case

Lol... Did I invalidate his feelings about the rape? Or did I say he shouldn't made his daughter's life miserable and punish her for what she didn’t do? Big difference btw. And yes that was a spoiler -_-

Yes he was raped but that does not excuse the violence he gave to an innocent child. He could have given her up to adoption. But no, he willing abused her blaming her for the rape. He’s a shit person hiding behind his SA. Just because ur a victim of anything does not excuse or give that person permission to commit a crime against another.

i’m confused how the duke was raped… he was drugged or spiked yes but we actually don’t know what went down between the the Fls mom and him yet… he may have thrown himself on her while being in that state unable to defend herself (maybe that’s why she ran and kept the child hidden until she was just about dying OR she was in on the ploy but it’s not definite yet that he was raped just saying :|

It is not invalidating a victim to hold them accountable for abusing a child. That child had no fault in being born, the anger they have should be directed towards the r*pist, not the kid that never asked to be born.

You can be a victim and an abuser at the same time, holding them accountable for one thing doesn't invalidate their victimhood.
