I think his feelings deserve to be validated. He feels like he was discarded. He wasn't. I think he even gets that at 15 BLQ was just a teen and gave him up to give him a better life but he doesn't understand or accept that she didn't come looking for him once she was a capable adult and I'm on his side. It totally blows up her entire "I didn't want to disrupt my child's life crap."
He's in pain and he has no place to put these feelings because everyone who can explain things to him--he sees as the people who inflicted the pain. I am usually a person who gets tired of broken record or whining. He is legitimately hurt and spinning right now. For 22 years he was Francis and Camila's son. Now, that has been snatched away and he's in a tailspin. It's almost like an identity crisis. He's no longer an orphan but all of these people who have been in his life are now related to him and it has thrown him for a loop.
Gio isn't very worldly. The part that continues to boggle my mind is why no one has suggested he speak with a therapist to help him navigate the rollercoaster of emotions he is feeling. He is clearly struggling. Therapists specialize in helping identify/validate/understand our feelings.
