Probably most likely he was also hit when he was a child they use that a lot in those time periods even they hire somebody and that person usually hits you but what she did with most likely beyond but at the same time, I don’t think he is exactly contradicting himself to us. The readers were, our laws in our moral compass and the way that everything is structured it seem like he’s a hypocrite he kind of is but at the same time it makes sense. It be like you were her side. You were raised by her being abused a lot of people end up, laboring their abusers to make themselves feel better.
No, Im saying he knew that his son was being tortured by his mother and still thought he was willingly on her side, and practically let her groom him into the kind of unstable mindset he's got now about love
The father knowingly let all of this happen while raising "a new son", that's the issue and he's STILL not doing this for Etienne. He's doing all of this to ensure Rishar becomes king not out of love for Etienne.
I’m not saying that he’s a good guy. I’m not saying he’s doing anything for him. I’m just saying that he’s most likely doing this for his own self-fulfilling Ego of trying to make himself feel better because he knows he’s an asshole.
What I’m saying is a he most likely didn’t think it The thing about her being on her side willingly is quite normal. He was a child that was traumatized and in someway trauma bonding even when somebody hits you, which is very normal and that time period to begin with attached in general right now is normal regardless of how much they hate you the opposite as well
I think I see what you're getting at but he knows how evil the queen was and is. While I do agree with u about the ego, I don't think the seed provider thinking Etienne was gonna side with the 9 month home was justified, even for this time period. (Birthgiver showed no sympathy, there was nothing for Etienne to hope for or cling to for love lol)
It really looks like if he attempted to communicate with his son at all, this problem wouldve been solved. But he didnt, hence why he's making the excuses
I believe the thing youre talking about is similar to stockholm syndrome, where if a kidnapper shows an ounce of sympathy for the victim, the victim will feel bad for the kidnapper
But the queen er ma bad baby pusher didnt show any mercy, even when Etienne was a kid, she just said "Im doing this because I love you"
"I didnt know you werent on your mother's side"
"Is she still beating you like she did when you were a child"
Bro wasnt even 10 minutes in the convo before he contradicted himself. Also did he think he was on her side as a newborn too?
....
No? So you just let the queen torture him for that long KNOWINGLY and tried to get a replacement son??? Stop the fucking games sperm donor and stop putting bad thoughts into ma baby's head #－.－)
