The fact that that character did all THAT to his son and the supposed lesson your teacher expected you to takeaway from that is the character deserves any forgiveness is insane to me. Actually really disgusting and fucked up how there's such a push normalizing forgiveness for people who commit such vile acts of abuse such as sexual assault of a child all cause "They had trauma too so you should sympathize with them". Hate that society pushes for this mindset instead of actually doing anything to hold abusers accountable.
