That's no different than all of Michael's defenders giving him victim status due to how he was raised and what his father put him through.

Either they're both awarded the excuse card, or neither.
While I dont necessarily disagree you're applying 2019 knowledge into circumstances happening in the late 80s and early 90s and then throwing in some hindsight.

While you're not wrong, many, many red flags were there for the seeing and the parents were far from perfect, I'd wager that only Robson's mother was willfully ignorant for her own benefit and it destroyed her entire family.
