If there's an afterlife, Daddy Dearest and Mom aren't together. I hope he likes the smell of sulfur and brimstone. Also, just about everyone who lived in their house or were close to them had to be fooling themselves: women and small children don't go around looking like they're in a concentration camp because they are bad and selfish people. Also, the ML blaming the FL for her father's abuse of her mother is about the most misogynistic belief I've come across in a while. And then, at the end when he's been convinced that Papa was a sadistic woman abuser, he tries to rehabilitate his memory by saying how sorry daddy was. Bullshit! People abuse other people because they like to, pure and simple. Schadenfreude is a very real thing and don’t let some Pollyanna convince you otherwise.
