Thanks for the reply! I personally don't think it would take away the flaw entirely however it is of course your own work and vision.
I hope we can help him with the situation with his dad. Also I hope it won't romantise abuse at the end of his good route. So far it hasn't romantised it which is good to me. I am personally not triggered (As in actual mental health and not internet meme) by the punch from him (still a bit distressing but nothing major!) but other victims might be. I don't think I will persue him anymore unless you need a password to save him in a later update in someone elses route. Loving the rest of the characters though. Dean and Sal are my favourite so far!
Sorry for the sorta of negative comments. I just wanted to mention it.
Edit: added "good" to "the end of his route".
