I don't know if any of you experienced childhood trauma or any kind of trauma but from personal experience, "professional help" is not always the answer. I have been through series of therapy for 10 years but if something hits too close to home it still triggers me that causes a big reaction that sometimes I ended up hurting someone. Trauma is like lifelong disease for me, there are areas of me that forever scarred no therapy can totally heal it. And whenever I hurt someone, it actually just added scar because I would think about no matter how long time has passed.
Reading the comments about how trash is the king makes me feel so defensive... That man has been through something traumatizing and I think he himself did not acknowledge it for years and just continue doing critical decisions for his kingdom. He is someone who can't afford to show weakness because he is the KING, it will not be easy for him to ask help. And him lashing out to Abigail is not about her per se, it's his trauma setting off... I agree that he should apologize to Abigail but he doesn't need judgement he needs help someone who's not clinical but can there for him emotionally. It maybe too much to ask Abigail to be that person but as of now he has no one but his young daughter and it doesn't have to be romantically, they can be friends or companion. Having someone beside you is much better than "professional help". But it's just my opinion...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat and I bet there are a lot of other survivors of all sorts of things who feel awful. Like, even if somebody isn't saying it about you, it still feels very targeted.
(Boutta get a little personal, sorry.)
In my english seminar a few years back, we read a short story where the character commits suicide at the very end, and my entire class was very loud and proud about "he was weak, he was a coward, he just died to get out of being punished". And as somebody who related very strongly to that character, who had recently been discharged from a psych facility for an attempt? Fuck YEAH I had to excuse myself from the room to go cry. I feel that way about this comments section sometimes, when I see somebody struggling to tell people that it's not okay to victim-blame and say "well he should just try harder/seek help/etc". A lot of people here don't understand that real people go through this shit, and real people are hurt by these words when sometimes doing all that doesn't help at all. It's all victim blaming and hating on a character just because he's not the FL, and it sucks.

Yeah, I am on the same boat. When you have such high expectations that this trauma will fade away once you go to therapy sessions per week. Then being triggered by a single touch brings back all those horrible memories. I hope no one thinks of trauma as a passing by moment. Its chained in our souls 'til we die.

Sometimes I want people to really understand that it's okay not to be okay. That no one should invalidate someone's pain just because they are not there. That we are not forcing them to stop voicing their opinions but that doesn't mean we can't get offended.
Some people might that this is just fiction but there's no way that somehow the author did not get the inspiration to real people. I just hope that they can put themselves in the position of the king to see his perspective, ordinary people find it hard to ask for help especially men who viewed as someone who cannot be weak, what for a KING it must've been way harder. And they must remember that before the fl transmigrated to Abigail, she's a jealous forceful woman not far from the dead queen.
I'll pray that you can get through your to trauma not to overcome it but to be able to live through it and still be happy.

Really I hope people realize that mental illness can be like physical wound, it'll leave scar. And therapy is not like a clinical procedure that can totally wiped the scar.
And whatever you are going through I pray that you'll have someone to be with you and be able to be happy despite having to unwillingly wear your scars.
