There's something he wants to be in his life and he feels like you've taken his chance away. He'll treat you with more understanding if you can let him see that you and he share that struggle and if your choices have been removed, it's a Sith Lord and a man who hasn't been created that removed them. It's not you, Anakin. The two of you are in the same boat. He needs to see it, and he won't until you accept it first."
