even though he created an unhealthy, emotional co-dependent relationship with young winter, he never took advantage of him in a tainted way. with all his hardships, he found solace in winters childlike innocence and ability to accept anything about him. do i still feel bad for winter and see him as a victim of grooming? yes
but raymond was habitually drugged and sexually abused out of his mind, and their small time together came to a halt after realizing winter was in as much danger as he was in. i can but also can’t blame him for abandoning the kid. i obviously don’t think the way adult winter treats current raymond is okay. but i thought he would’ve figured out on his own by now that raymond deserves someone who doesn’t do the very things those past bad men would do
