I mostly tell him to put on a shirt and judge his taste in friends.
My dad just disappeared. The person Nate's an alternate version of - my other son - had to be raised in the future because of a virus. And eventually I couldn't stay.
Nate left a different future and never knew me there.
But if I ever beat a kid it was a kid actively trying to kill me and sure as hell wasn't my own.
my old man never tried the only thing he did do was crack my head as many times as he cracked open a beer which was a lot i know you got your fucked up shit and all but as long as you don't take it out on him you're a lot better than some dads out there
i'd say lots of parents got issues with having a mutant for a kid but that shit had been going on long before i found out i was one that was just the cherry on the cake least i could finally fight back
I think there's probably more subtlety than that - even for the knife and it sometimes being what's keeping you from bleeding out - but overall I said I wouldn't judge and I'm glad you did something to make life suck less.
