*He shook his head* It can be dangerous to go down the "I should have" route, own that you /did/ get out. And I know it's really /really/ easy to look at the negatives but focus hard on the positives.

*He was still so young, Lotor could barley remember that far back.* No one is ever fully prepared, so much can and will happen that it's sometimes best just to roll with the punches so to speak.

Understandable. It can get very tiring.

//I'm sleepy and my ADHD is on overdrive but I can't nap and i'm forcing myself to focus.

There are a lot of people who want to do something about him, and in time they will. Focus on making a life for yourself away from his influence and as your own person.

Because nothing he did was your fault. Just because you are his child doesn't mean you should be held responsible for his actions.

But what? Go on, what argument do you have for holding onto the actions of another you had no control over? *He folded his arms over his chest, head tilted slightly and making sure to keep his voice light.*

There is a difference between fixing the mistakes of the past and bearing the responsibility of those mistakes. You never made them but you can put them right. Standing on your own two feet and paving your own path, it’s something wonderful about it, even if it takes time.

*he nodded* Then do it. If you have the means let nothing stop you and just go.

No need to thank me, I was once in your position. If I can help you any more please don’t hesitate to ask.

*There was a slight twitch at the side of Lotor's mouth* I found love and we planned a family, unfortunatly it never came to pass. Afterwards I never really had anything serious again until... But he and I have not spoken for some time.

An Earth man that I met. We were very much in love, still are. But work and distance came between us. I may contact him again soon, actually. Catch up.

*Lotor tilted his head slightly* Thank you. Are you okay? I haven’t said the wrong thing have I?

Not a lot of people did expect it, especially the man I ended up dating. We started off on opposite sides but sort of, fell in love.

It never used to be that different, I suffered my fair share of abuse. He was actually a Paladin of… Well, first he was a prisoner /then/ he became a rebel of sorts and /then/ a paladin. Good god the more I talk about it the more fucked up it sounds.

In honesty it was much less complicated than it sounds, I only knew him when he was a paladin. I can’t promise your father won’t catch up to you, sadly that is something out of both of our control. What I can say is your life is now yours to make it whatever you wish it to be.
