Oddly enough, I was more upset about it than he was. He said that he couldn't really blame his abuser, since probably the abuser was himself probably abused as a child.
X also said that the fact that he's messed up emotionally is only 20% the abuser's fault and 80% his own father's fault. Which, I suppose, may have some elements of truth to it.
X has been in VERY EXTENSIVE therapy in the past, but it hasn't helped him at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.
