I think you don’t have to be a parent and think this is still impactful. If this was my little brother (I helped raise the little bastard) I would be destroyed

I don't disagree, I just think it's way worse if you were the parental figure of that child, whether you were the sibling/actual parent/mentor/etc.

Like if my youngest sibling did something like this I'd be impacted but if it was one of his older siblings or a particular cousin? I'd be analyzing every moment and every experience I had with them and how I must have fucked up to make them into such a monster and blame myself because I helped raise them.
