I think that on an emotional level, Chrome was a child. I was also a child. My wife too. You know this. Emotional growth is halted at the time emotional trauma is experienced. Chrome grew intellectually, but all that did was to allow him to weave an adult defense and justification around his emotional child. That gave him the sense of adult entitlement to do what he did. Emotional ignorance. I never blame someone for ignorance. But once they know what they are doing, that excuse no longer cuts it.
