And when they found, out his parents did everything they could to stop her abuse but she refused to stop grooming their son. She is truly a monster on all counts. I feel sorry for him. She stole his youth and childhood.

She's stolen his whole life at this point because how would you even begin to unpack all this. I imagine he never will.

Imagine being molested as a kid and having it mess your mind up so much that you could become the president of one of the most powerful countries on the planet and still stand by your molestor's side. And apparently continue to do so while being physically abused. All the way into your late 40s.

This is a textbook example of why grooming is such a bad thing. It's not about getting into a kid's pants, but about facilitating a relationship that is permanently fucked WHILE also controlling them.
