It won't redeem him but maybe it will provide context like "I get that he's like this because he's been through some stuff but doesn't excuse the fact that he's been terrible to people around him and people that cared about him the only healthy thing now is to start over."
I get what you saying and you are very logical. But I’m currently still on the hate train. I’ll hope on bored on the logical train when his back story comes.
No back story will redeem this man.
