Wow. This was really well put together into an amazing story, I love it. Thank you for making it! 

What's so crazy is that I was raised exactly like Kyle and turned out the same way as him, and well....unfortunately my husband was sort of raised like Brad was, however he only somewhat turned out like him (luckily). The main difference is he's actually seeing a therapist and ever since meeting me back in high school, I'm there for my husband and I know how to help him get through this mental struggles after years of studying his mind and spirit to better understand him. (Trust me, it wasn't easy). Another possibility is that perhaps everyone is different and turn out differently in a variety of ways. I personally believe in reincarnation and that we carry the most subconscious of our traits into our next life, any other traits within our personality are learned from the influences around us as we grow. (Note: this is just a personal belief, it's not an attempt in any way to sway anyone else's beliefs, so please don't take it that way.)

Hey, Sai! ❤ Thanks for your kind words, and also for sharing part of your history and beliefs with me. I personally think reincarnation is a fascinating idea, and it's one of the main inspirations for my main wip at the moment.

Objectively, there's no denying that one's personality is heavily influenced by a large number of factors, among which family relationships and overall conditions of upbringing play a significant role. When writing this story, I wanted to portray how trauma is usually passed on from person to person, and how it can very easily spiral out of control.

Brad's parents' unhealed trauma caused them to raise a hateful, shallow and unstable man; Years of unresolved inner conflict led this man to end another man's life on impulse. From that, not only was the victim's conscience affected beyond life, but also was his immediate family scarred for decades.

This terrible domino effect is why I believe healing (and therapy!) is so necessary to nowaday's society. Most of us have been scarred, on a greater or smaller scale, and just like the scarring process usually goes on for years, understanding and repairing it tends to be a very slow process as well.

I am ecstatic to hear that your husband's in therapy and getting better! And it's (especially) amazing that you're so dedicated to being there for him. 

Virtuous qualities and love can also be passed from person to person, thankfully.

Note from the nosy author: just a quick reminder for you to make sure you're also seeing to your needs while helping your partner as much as you are. You also need and deserve to be taken care of.

Take care! And thanks again~
