Trying to live through this must have been so hard - and yes, maybe that involves bravery; but I think 'bravery' is the wrong term.

I think he lived an extremely difficult life - and I think it ended in tragedy.

It's a tragedy that he was subjected to abuse, it's a tragedy that he wasn't able to ask for (or receive) help and it's a complete and utter tragedy that he ended up taking his life.
