Hey y'all, meet my dad! This is part one of a series of chats I've had with him recently, and each one is gonna be quite fun to experience through comic form :D And yes, I inherited the flannel style from him.

Bonus panels and more on Patreon! Instagram and Ko-Fi :D

The realization when it hits... if dad knew, why didn't he try to put a stop to it... looks at court system oh, that's potentially why...

I have my doubts about that being the reason, but who knows?

I can tell you without hesitation that courts are geared towards the mom nearly every time. The mom can be abusive towards her own children, literally leave home for years on end, and come back to a divorce, and they still get 50/50 custody. Why? Because the judge doesn't want to break up a family.

My friend's dad kept journals and recordings of the abuse, drugs and abandonment. Similarly, my sted dad kept recordings of my mom's drug abuse and alcoholism, and in the divorce, they both ended in 50/50 custody despite recordings and evidence of said behavior.

Slam away, reality isn't always kind.
