I agree David in the 1980's child abuse seems to have been rife!
I also wonder how this could affect a young lad in the future i.e. blaming his parents for sending him away etc. JB was against anything his parents suggested...for instance..JB had proposed to JM but when his parents suggested he get married, he told JM the engagement was off. Perhaps JB kept his bisexual tendencies a secret from them, and this built up causing him to act the way he did. JB seems to have had a grudge against his sister as well.... selling her modelling photos soon after her death....changing his hair colouring to match JM's which he had done once before when JM changed her hair colour. JB seems a very confused man to me.
