He listens but doesn't. He can't even express any of his feelings to his father without him going off on him. He felt like an outcast yet his father refused to do anything about that. He felt like he was being pushed to the edge of the herd. you know dad, you seem to only care about your two lead mares. You insult me at birth, and you continue insulting mother. A true father wouldn't talk shit about the childs mother no matter what their quarrel but listen to you. At least mom seems to be more respectful, she either never talks about you or speaks good about you despite her quarrel with you yet here you are dissing her for just wanting to stick up for me when I was just born. You think of no one but yourself. You don't think your words through before you speak them and you take insult when ever someone things they deserve to be shown more respect.He said forcing the tears away as he turns on his father.Don't worry I won't be here much longer, I am challenging the Desert stallion and if I loose that maybe I will just go live by myself or join Cullen and become a bachelor at least there I know Ill get respectHe seethed. It was clear his father had too much of temper.i hope I don't turn out like you or motherHe said shaking his head and now moving to leave his father preseence tears again in his eyes as he walks away head low to the ground.
