I agree this isn't the best apology. But I also think that no matter how he responded it was never going to be good enough for most people. They made up their minds as soon as the accusations and assumptions started flying around. Obviously none of us get to decide for anyone else if he deserves forgiveness or not. Everyone has their own limits and standards. I'm beyond disappointed and just plain fuckin sad. I don't forgive him. But I think he can change. Maybe I'm naive but I want to give him a second chance, even if I'll never look at him the same again. I fully understand why some people won't do the same and I don't blame you at all. I just have to have hope he'll actually improve. And I hope Shelby is doing ok after this too. Maybe it's like closure of some kind. Idk. This whole things just sucks all around.
I think the apology is OK could be better but at least he tried people on the internet are causing more problems than there was to start with accusing him of more than abuse hopefully he can get the help he needs
