I half-wonder if a big part of the reason Steven can’t seem to get the support he needs is that like half his social support network has tried to kill him at some point, and none of them seem to regard that as a particularly big deal. Like, they’re space aliens with a completely different concept of mortality, so it’s understandable that they’re not getting it, but going “hey, remember the time I tried to kill you?” to a kid with PTSD like it was just an embarrassing faux pas you can both laugh about can’t be doing anything good for his peace of mind!
