geeez you try to smother a baby one time and suddenly you're not deserving of love

ok so those adoptive parents couldve just said "no, dont do that, that will hurt the baby", but I guess they instead furthered his unlovable complex by being extra weird around him.
Doesnt justify shit, ML still did all that other shit like gaslighting, coercion, emotional and sexual abuse. Bro actually maybe you are unlovable
