How does Jagged Stone manage to be a better father than Gabriel, and he left his kids 馃槶
Because absent parents are shitty but are still, in some cases, better than abusive parents. I remember that line from Lee Daniel's Star when Star was thinking of putting her baby up for adoption and she said "I don't want to be as bad as my mother and I'm afraid I will be" and he sister said "I don't want Davis (the baby) to spend his whole life wondering why his mother left him" and Star said "I don't want Davis to send his entire life wishing she did". It's not an excuse to leave your kids tho, but some people were just not meant to be parents. (Star was a good mom btw, she was just overthinking because she wasn't ready). I think Jagged could've been a good father if he actually tried, but you can bet your butt Adrien would've had a better life if Gabriel wasn't there in the first place.
