‘would your partner be a good parent’ i think the answer is no. sort of surprising.
he would love his [our…] kids to the absolute bone, they would mean the entire universe
to him and he would never even think of doing anything to hurt them.
But.
he couldn’t be a good parent, at least in his current position. i think there’s a possibility
that he is somewhat of a father figure for teucer. not to say anything about their dad, cos i
don’t know anything about him, and i’m not someone with any experience with siblings, but i think
with the gift-giving and the protecting he places over solely teucer [as far as i’m aware], you
could say that he has a not only brotherly gaze for teucer, but a little fatherly too.
having a little brother definitely dips into paternity, is what i’m getting at. especially with these two.
and considering he thinks that protecting [lying to] teucer about his job is the best thing to do, i don’t
think he’d be a good parent. well, not so much that he couldn't be, or doesn’t have it in him, but more that he
Can’t. he’s not in the position to be a good father.
the guy would be away for large amounts of time, has literal blood on his hands, and god knows what plagues his
mind when he’s alone. i believe he needs time to himself, the same way i do, to just be alone & process anything
going through his head.
it’d be a lot to drop onto his already-heavy shoulders, basically.
i don’t know if he’d disagree with me. i think he could be in denial about a lot of things [or he knows he’s lying…
i can’t figure it out], so i don’t know whether he’d be aware that he wouldn't be a good parent right now.
