I don’t think he was abused tho?
His father literally said he used to beat the OG Roman up on the regular when they were commoners, and that he stopped doing that when they had other kids. Roman is the only child who was physically abused, and even now the father throws things at him. He's apologetic, but he still did it.
His father literally threw a cup on his head lmao
That, and his father *literally* said roman was the only one of his children he ever beat up (and frequently at that) because he was around when they were commoners
I feel bad for the original roman. Abused by his father as a child, then suddenly spoiled, then called the moron of his family, eventually being sacrificed to war because of the low expectations. Killing himself, thinking his family despised him.
