#lawrence and charlotte would be like divorced parents to nathan lolol

Your last post made me think - if I remember correctly you said that Charlotte prefers psychological torture. So, we know physical violence is not effective against Nathan. What if Lawrence decides to hand him over to Charlotte? Whoud she is able to break him? Will she give him back to Lawrence or decide to keep the boy to herself?

I never thought of that, you made me really think XD.

TW: Mentioned psychological torture, mentioned exploitation of phobias, parental whumper/s, female whumper + male whumpee

The answer would be: maybe. I could make this part of the Nathan recapture arc when I do continue it, since this is actually really interesting to think about.

Nathan, upon hearing that Lawrence plans to hand him over to Charlotte, would totally underestimate her, since he thinks no one can be as insufferable as Lawrence.

He'd be like, "Thank god I can be away from you. This'll be like a vacation for me!"

He'll find out he is wrong. Very wrong.

Charlotte might grow to like him, because unlike Lawrence, she likes more of a challenge so she can feel all the more in power when she breaks someone. It makes her feel more proud of herself and her hard work, and makes her feel more of a bond towards her victim.

It would break him if she pulled out certain tactics. It'd take a while of trial and error, but eventually she'd find what his phobias are, and what really makes him tick. Breaking him would take around month or two, maybe more.

If Charlotte decided to keep him, she might make a deal with Lawrence to take turns keeping him.

Co-parenting, if you will.
