So one way Grayson used to be punished by his father (Ashley) was that Grayson would be locked up too. So to Grayson, the kid being punished in this way is perfectly normal because it was done to him as well. And in Grayson's mind, helping the kid means staying with him while being punished.
Not to say that it isn't fucked up, but this is to explain why Grayson is the way he is. He suffered abuse but because he doesn't read emotions like others and because his childhood was not normal, Grayson sees the abuse as normal. It isn't until later that he actually gets the development he should have had as a child lol.
