Wow, comparing Cruz to a teenager? With that as the age standard I guess trum is a 3 tear old brat who doesn’t get his way. Name calling, threats, etc.
Cruz is what is commonly called an adult child of alcoholics. Both his parents had alcohol problems, and Ted’s Dad abandoned him at a vulnerable age. The effect is like putting a little kid’s emotions/well-being through a psychological meat grinder. The effects are long lasting.
