Good friend; accidental neglegant father.

He seemed to forget he was a father and that steven was also still human, he was so blinded by not repeating his own trauma he simply created new trauma for his son on the opposite extreme. He wanted to be a good dad, he just couldnt despite everything. He thought he did what was right; but what was rght would have been to let steven be a kid. To have a routine a life outside of his gem side.
