beta
i hate this trend of emotionally neglectful failed fathers in these stories. their wives always die or smthn and all of a sudden they become bad fathers?? like WTF is wrong with you, STEP UP. its so weird to me because they almost always get redemption arcs and some ppl dont even bat an eye because theyre drawn attractive. give this man a beer belly and a green stench cloud and ppl would riot. dropping this story because i think were heading for the redemption arc.
if your children literally think you hate them, you should not be a parent.
