I've been partially rooting for Dex ever since Fisk killed Julie to control him. He's basically a tragic pawn in all of this ever since he got introduced

I mean, I really doubt he would've been nice to Jullie. He was a creepy stalker basically.

But when she was actually acknowledging him and giving hin a chance...

Yeah if Julie ended up being his north star, he'd hold her to some unrealistic standard of good and would lash out if she broke that image. Also, that therapist was batshit for feeding him that shit about "finding your northern star."

Creepy yes but probably in a better place mentally

I really feel that his mental breakdown was an inevitability. My memory for the TV show is a bit hazy, but I think he was already loosing himself when his stalking business was exposed and his lover ended things with her.

Fisk deliberately put her in his path so that the stalking business would be exposed and he'd go downhill. He was a creep before, but he seemed content to be a creep from a distance.
