He did not act like a teacher a single fucking time; he acted like an arrogant child, a bully, and a coward.
Why the FUCK would you suddenly not be a father in any way, and just act like a fucking 16 year old who thinks the world is happening around him?
I've raised 2 boys and 2 girls, and if this MC is saying shit like this, he has NEVER been a Parent!
He doesn't have to be like me, but he should be acting as though he decided to put the good of his children above that of fucking Social CONVENIENCE.
You have a teacher bully kids in school, and you learn a very different side of a man.
