He did, and it’s great that he was able to do so.
It is, however, not a personal failing if another abuse victim is unable to do that. Abuse is the abuser’s fault. The consequences of the abuse are the abuser’s fault. Criticising the victim for not rising above it is called “victim shaming”. Implying that the victim is at fault for feeling crushed by the abuse they have received is ridiculous.
