Damaging, for sure, but not something that can’t be overcome, with God’s healing.
My career is Corrections, and I have met plenty of jacked-up individuals in 29 years, some of them I have known for that long.
Even with the worst of parents (which BO’s weren’t by a long shot) some people keep it together, or eventually get it together.
Some with much better opportunities throw it all away. Pretty strange deal, life on this planet.
We just didn’t need this dude in the White House.
