I also feel only a little bad for the dad cuz yh his wife did abandon him after he knocked her up and proceeded to die shortly after. Not too much tho cuz he's a deadbeat, its not even like they're showing him having favoritism to any of the kids it just feels like he might have become a bit of a shell of himself after she abandoned him.
Update: read further, i dont feel bad for the dad, nvm guys mb. F*** that guy honestly
