Scared and abused his 8 yr old son???(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yeah, in reality I would hate a story about it but also not much better than the current male lead yet here we are.

Who's to say it wasn't the same for the dad you're so quick to write off? It really doesn't matter. I know webtoons and anime like to make abusive childhoods a sympathetic shield for abusive, controlling, manipulative adults in order to make their crimes against others seem lesser or not that bad somehow but it's bullshit.
