That’s bs. Grieving for 22 years!? Neglecting your daughter for 22 years cause you couldn’t face your feelings!? Oh come on even you know that’s ridiculous. He had all the time in the world to start caring for his daughter. People grieve differently yeah but that doesn’t mean that you literally ignore your daughter and her suffering and abuse. There’s a limit to how much you can use the excuse of grieving. He’s a horrible father. He doesn’t deserve to form any good relationships with her. He ruined her childhood and he decides to apologize when she’s already married and has a loving family of her own. And why wouldn’t he feel attachment towards his daughter after his wife died? Elsa’s literally the last thing his wife left him. A pice of both of them. He knew she was willing to sacrifice herself for their daughter so shouldn’t he have cared for her? All these stupid fathers are like this in manhwas. Neglecting their kid cause they “killed the love of their life”.
idk why you’re so shocked. you can grieve for that long. death is something you can never get over . it doesn’t get better but you learn how to live with it. he never accepted his wife’s death and because of that, he was neglectful of not just his daughter but of his own wellbeing as well. like i said, a lot of y’all truly do not understand how grief affects someone maybe it’s cause yall never lost someone or just lack the ability to feel empathy for someone.
Again. There’s a limit to how much you can use grieving as an excuse
this is the first time where i actually cried for the father in these stories. yes, he neglected his daughter but to see him grieving his wife like that just hurts. you never get over that type of pain. not saying he shouldn’t have been there for her but I am not shocked he had no attachment towards his daughter at first especially when he lost the woman he loved like that. man… you cannot really hate him because people grieve in their own ways & he always ran from his feelings which resulted in him neglecting his daughter. i hope they can actually build a relationship because he didn’t neglect her out of hate but out of him just not being able to face his own grief. i really hope that she continues to keep her father in her life & they grow closer cause he only has her & it wouldn’t hurt for her to get to know her dad.
