"I wrote an abusive father figure. But I also feel like biological families should stick together no matter what. I have not examined this belief in any way whatsoever, and I probably never will.

Anyway, the victim should forgive their abuser because the abuser is biologically related, thus forever tethering the victim to them with no escape ever.

I have no interest in understanding why abuse victims don't have to and often mustn't forgive their abusers. I only wrote the abuse for edgy flavor anyway.

There is no need to explore other options or to write a genuine redemption for the abuser.

This is a happy ending.

I am a hack."

(and then the father figure sacrifices himself in a blaze of glory so that we can squint and imagine that this counts as a redemption arc and isn't just grandiose plot-mandated suicide brought on by the writer not actually wanting to deal with the consequences of the father's actions.)

i fucking hate it when a movie or a tv show does some shit where a character has a shitty dad and another character tells them to forgive him because. "it's your dad". that means nothing. more people should be killing their fathers.
