Afterwards the more Carolina reminded him of Allison the more distant he got... and then he became obsessed with Project Freelancer and Tex and... yeah. Bad shit.
He's going to teach his kids to howl and romp through the woods... and not eat everything in sight. And give them lots of love and give Virginia all the support...
because except for a few unfortunate issues, he had a pretty good family
I feel like there's a lot of "Ok, but..." and apologizing to be had.
Mostly apologizing...
He spent a lot of time being a quasi-single parent while she was away doing very important stuff
because except for a few unfortunate issues, he had a pretty good family
...He didn't know... he would have at least tried.
Pretty sure Marion would nope the fuck out of letting him drag their son around the world with him like her father did... so, yeah.
Another not exactly stellar example to go by... but he's not bad with kids and would try to be a more present dad. More attentive and stuff.
I also don't think Carolina would have been so desperate to get his attention back if he had been a bastard her whole life.
