He put both of his children in horrible positions, that they only way they can gain their fathers love is to do some terrible.

I hadn't really considered that but I guess he was also trying to live up to his father's expectations.<br />Thanks<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.com
