The parents are pretty shit here, but at least the dad was self-aware. The girls mother is the worst kind of parent. The type that will abuse and mistreat their kids and then expect everything to turn out all right when she says “sorry” once. Even more so when her kids show visible dislike and distrust in her. Her daughters run away and change their numbers and her first thought is “is this kind man my oldest daughter was hiding behind keeping them against their will”. The dad acknowledged his downfalls and that he was a bad a parent. Honestly, I don’t think that everyone is suited to be a parent and sometimes we expect something of people because of the roles they just found themselves in that they just can’t deliver (and again, not saying the dad was a good parent; he’s pretty shit himself, but his self awareness and acknowledgement of that fact makes him LEAGUES more tolerable than this mother; I’m ready to boil her in a pot of oil).
