(Luka is possibly the worst parent one could have, though he’s oblivious to that fact…)
Perhaps it’s different for elves. It’s been such a long time, I simply can’t remember much family any more. Just a few more recent step-children, none terribly important.
[Worse than someone who accidentaly burned one of his sons to death because he was too busy spiting his half-brother to check if all his sons had gotten off the ships before burning them?]
Our memories aren't really made for forgetting things, which is why we can be so good at holding on to grudges for far longer than is perhaps reasonable. We tend to be fairly close to our families as well, despite what my own family drama might indicate.
(Y’wanna know what I might’ve miscalculated there. Luka’s certainly neglectful and austere with his step (always step, and reminds them) children. He’ll out right forget about them altogether, and the more influence he has in raising them the more selfish and austere they become. But… not burning ship bad…)
All families have their issues, I’m sure mine was no different. Be glad you can remember, for all that forgetting is freedom I do often wonder what those people must have been like.
[It is a pretty high standard of bad parenting to beat, honestly. Fëanor never does anything without going all out on it, not even bad parenting.]
Mine more than most, saying it is complicated is truly an understatement when it comes to my family dynamics. Can't say I'm to broken up about leaving all that drama behind, but I don't think I'd like to forget them entirely either. Not all of them, at least.
When I think very, very far back I sometimes see a woman I’m sure I know. Who she is I really can’t say. I think she must have been my mother, but it’s been so long that I see other people’s faces in place of hers. At this point I can’t tell which one is the right one. Sera, sera!
