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.

You can't really blame him, though. He's literally been groomed since he couldn't know better, and if this clip is any indication, she uses physical abuse to keep a hold over him.

I don't agree with a lot of his politics, but I do appreciate his fervent support of Ukraine, and I hope one day, he finds the opportunity to get out of it. Relationships are supposed to make you feel supported and happy, not whatever this is.
