    The hiding I kind of have sympathy for because he was raised in an Australian cult named “The Family” - which was a matriarchy in which he and other children were made to silently hide in the walls when the authorities came.

    So his issues with women and propensity to hide from authority figures I can kind of understand on a pathological level. Doesn’t make it excusable, I just have sympathy for being a bit messed up in his personal life.
