Your father isn’t here to rescue your son. He’s here to murder him.
We mothers do what we can to keep our sons from the grave.
That’s the difference between raising a son and a daughter. All you do with a daughter is just try to keep her from getting screwed. All you do with a son is try to keep him from screwing himself.
I know that I’m not the son you wanted, and I know that Elk Grove would rather have a hero who doesn’t live in a trailer, and doesn’t have a boat load of cold sores, but too bad! I am your son, and I’m the only hero Elk Grove has.
A son can hate his father, but he cannot disrespect him. It’s not allowed. Dishonors them both.
A son can hate his father and it’s the father’s job to forgive.
