Sarah, Etienne/his father was a bit of a tough one for me, in that my default for this type of thing in real life is “you’re choosing your choice, Etienne, to stay with an emotional abuser.” I think the author did a good job of showing that, basically, Etienne is not old enough to be at that place of walking away from his father; and, also, how that treatment by his parents led him to decided it was better to be in a relationship (and shutting off the possibility of new relationships) than to be alone (and open to new relationships).
