yeah I feel the same way . He was a man-child and she was 16 so her parents were really the only adults in the situation as far as I can tell. This is largely their failing.

here, one artist gave another permission to use pain that resulted from their shared fuckedupness. I think it's likely ER is trying to find some deeper meaning in this cookie-cutter, modern tragedy. So I guess my point is that while it might me exploitative on the abuser's part it could still be cathartic and have…
