So many people are throwing shit at the dad, but i really think he deserves some sympathy. Yes, lraving a newbotn behind in that abusive house wad unforgivable, but after getting abused for months and months he most likely lost any sort of support system he had and did not know what else to do.
Years later he came back, reqlized he fucked up, noticed the situation his child was in and understood that he could give him a better life. From an outsiders POV, our mc and his little bro were definitely not living a good life. Theyre livijg on the bad side of town, in huge debt, surrounded by gangsters and mc is basically prostitution himself. What person would see that as a good enviorment for a young child to grow up in?
We as readers do have an insiders view and can see how things are actually going, and even then we can see how this is not a healthy situation for our mc or the little bro. There was the fire insident bacm when MC was working all the time, and more revently our MC loosing his mind because of anxiety over selling himself (the whole "am i too loose?" thing) Sure MC still does whatever he can for his little brother, but he is not in a good mential place, nor cabaple of fully proviting a good life for his little brother.
Still both MC and the father fucked up with how they did the transision. Shoildve done it in a way where MC was more there for the little brother, and maybe done weekday weekend swaps so little brother had more time to adjust, instead of just dumping the child on the fathe without explaining anything clearly. Take a few weeks to just have meeting with the father, then slowly transision to having the child live with him.
Sure hope it wont end up that the father is an abusive person in the end too, for now he seems to be a caring person who has done a lot of mistakes in his past. Sprry for any spelling mistakes, cant use autocorrect in incognito mode lol
