I feel like people don’t really understand that it doesn’t matter how much hardship you’ve been through,you still can’t invalidate someone else’s pain. Pain isn’t a competition. Everyone’s pain is valid, and bad people aren’t simply born bad. A lot of abusive and terrible people have trauma of their own; they’ve suffered too, but that doesn’t justify their harmful behavior.
Song Rik’s behavior is understandable considering his trauma, his mindset, and everything he’s been through, but it doesn’t make it justifiable. He’s still abusive and in the wrong. What he needs is to distance himself from Jinhyeong, meet some responsible adults who can actually help him, and get counseling and Therapy
I just hope that now that he’s grown up, he’s in a better and healthy environment and has realized that his behavior was wrong
