GOD I am so so tired of stories about abusive fathers who turn out to be ~complex~ and have reasons behind their actions.

Like, it’s not even about whether or not I like the characters it’s about the fact that fiction NEVER just lets us look at a shitty dad and say “he’s shitty, get this child away from him and, if it’s what they want, let them never have to deal with him again”

especially considering so many abusers work any angle to justify their abuse
