Idk I Have A Lot Of Sympathy For People Who Were Abused Themselves Or Suffered From Mental Health Issues

idk i have a lot of sympathy for people who were abused themselves or suffered from mental health issues etc etc and of course being mentally ill doesn’t absolve liam of being an abuser and it doesn’t make us or his victims obligated to forgive him (or even feel sorry for him - maya is allowed to grieve however she wants including not grieving at all) but idk. seeing people gleefully making jokes and mocking him just feels wrong. we see it all the time with child stars, being thrust into the spotlight at such a young age and the substance abuse, sometimes physical abuse and then they die young. of course for me it feels different because one direction has been such a big part of my life for so long and we literally watched them grow up

idk. maya and any other victims can do what they want but the internet hates nuance and many people need to grow an empathetic bone in their body because what do you mean “the mental health defense doesn’t apply here” of course it does. of COURSE it does!!!!!!!!!
