So, is anyone going to criticize Harry for calling Eb out for abandoning him to the foster care system, or, defend Eb’s choice to do just that? Eb didn’t offer any defense his actions claim he couldn’t find Harry or any other such justifications that have been offered in our discussions over the years.
IMO Eb did what he thought was best for the survival of his family. The feelings of said family did not matter. So making Harry vanish from everyone he considered threatening at that time, did make sense, though his methods might not have been so nice. I hope he did not kill Malcolm, because I had the impression he thought M. was good for Harry. But not good enough to protect his grandson. It could be he killed him or arranged for him to be killed, but I don't want to believe that.
Harry's reaction in this chapter was completely understandable. OK, he went a bit far with the death threat.
And both of them could have been more diplomatic, but diplomacy seems to be missing in this family
.
Let's say they both said things that were right about each other from their point of view, but they said them in a bad way.
I hope they talk a bit more later, including listening to each other.
I really would like to know if Eb was responsible for the bad parts of Harry's childhood and what he has to say about that, other than criticizing Harry's decisions.
I think Eb's choices regarding his family were to protect them. And he was showing a great deal of paranoia in it. But there was a reason for that, it wasn't completely wrong. I mean, Maggie Jr was targeted by the Red Court to get to him.
