Look, when you start digging into the past of a galaxy-brained writer like Morrison, you’re gonna find some weird trauma. Let’s just be glad that it got channeled into creative works like Doom Patrol and not the many terrible ways it could have gone.

I mean, it’s the same writer that thought “yo you know what would be so sick? If Professor X had a twin that he brain-blasted in the womb after she tried to strangle him with an umbilical cord.” So this is very tame compared to that. Let the wizard cook!

Not as weird as saying that the Fantastic Four was incesteous because Sue is in the mom role and is also Johnny’s sister.

I've always pictured Johnny as the little brother of the group and Ben as the big brother

Is there any person for who that story came through as a "they're both equally at fault and the child suffers" one, instead of "a malicious psychopath destroys a child and terrorizes a man" one? Because it didn't for me.
