βIβve learned that people often donβt blame themselves for the things that they do to children. Theyβre just kids after all, what can they really know about pain?β

Part 2 of 2
A lot of the psychological research that they did on him turned from strange, to borderline abusive, to actual mental & emotional abuse. Itβs hard to escape from any kind of issue, but psychological problems can stick with a person forever. So I actually do think that there are some personality traits

Ben has that have come from his trauma. He has this thing where he feels really guilty whenever he canβt help as much as heβd like (as a healer especially, and the same when he becomes a doctor) Or heβll blame himself for things that really werenβt his fault.
Itβs interesting, but also sad at the same time

Benjaminβs story is very interesting and sad
It kinda reminds me of Jason Toddβs childhood-
When he was younger, he was taken from his mother because she couldnβt take care of him. So he went to live with his new parents. His father was abusive towards him and his mother. His mother was a drug addict. They would fight a lot, and he would hide under the table with his dog Sparky. He took care of his mother after his father went to jail and probably did most of the cooking and cleaningβ¦..

Then when his mom died, he was taken taken in by Batman who probably wasnβt the best model parent (obviously).

And he always blamed himself for everything (like Benjamin), and he never thought himself as good enough. Then when he found out that his birthmother was being blackmailed by the Joker, he went to save her, but she betrayed him. She told the Joker where he was. The Joker beat Jason with a crowbar, then tied him up in a warehouse set to explode and threw his birthmother in there too. Jason untied his mother so she could escape, but the door was locked.

He threw himself over his mother to protect her from the blast when the bomb was going off. (Even though this was futile and they both died)

@βοΈππ πππ€ ππππ€βοΈ np! Okay where would I find that at? Also Iβve been trying to write my own story and I always have really good ideas for stories but I always start stories and never finish them (I have like 11 that I havenβt finished writing yet) do you have any tips on staying focused?

mxu6xja is the class code :)
Umm I think a good thing to remember is that you donβt have to write something perfect. Most authors have multiple drafts and they never spend the first one editing and making everything perfect. I think I have to remind myself that a lot. Itβs difficult to keep going, but the more you work & write, the better the story will get π I hope that helps π
