Most victims who are forced to have children resent and hate their children, so yeah that was enough for him to completely neglect his child this is way more common than you think. A lot of victims even view their children as simply a reminder of what happened and causes them to not have emotional connection with them or sees their abuser in them. There’s a lot of cases where they have to raise their rape child and they end up neglecting and hating their children. Some don’t even view their child as theirs but as their abusers. I do feel for children who have to experience this bc at the end of the day, it’s not their fault but the one that should be primarily blamed is the rapist.
Like i know etienne was a product of situation u didnt want, but is that really enough of a reason to completely neglect him and tolerate the abuse he's getting FROM THE ONE WHO ALSO TORMENTED YOU? GOD
