Yyyep. If I want to try and be "fair" to him, I could say, I don't know if he was afraid of me so much as he was overwhelmed by the pressures and extra work involved in raising a kid with lycanthropy - which are very real. And deciding that he wasn't up to it was his choice to make.

[He hisses through his teeth, making a face for a moment.] Then I could remember that he definitely knew my mom was a carrier, and then when he bolted anyway she had to do all that extra work herself. So, y'know. It's my choice to consider him an asshole.
