    I frankly would have been more shocked if I was told he was a functional, well-adjusted, pleasant human being.

    It is possible for someone to rebel against their parents shittiness by being the most upstanding citizen possible.

    Or by becoming an activist for causes that oppose their shitty parent (see Nate Phelps, for example)

    Unfortunately, those are rare examples, but they are possible.
