That trauma can account for any obsessive behaviour we now see. I think some sympathy is called for.

I have a great deal of sympathy for his situation. I loathed my father’s next wife with a passion when I was a teenager because whenever we went on holidays etc with his new family everyone assumed she was my mother and that enraged me. And that isn’t a fraction of everything else Harry has been through (I actually lived with my actual, wonderful mum until I got married, and she only passed away last year).
*However* … he has also had every advantage in life, the opportunity to become his own man in the army, a brother and cousins who understand where he’s coming from and unlimited access to whatever counselling or mental health support he could ever have needed. He has agency, and he is using it, for certain against the advice of many members of his family, to pursue this present action and also in his choices of behaviour, how and when he speaks and what he writes.
We are all the product of our past, but our past continues to be written with every single passing day. It isn’t just one arbitrary period of our lives, no matter how traumatic.
