I'm not in a position to lecture you? I'm your father. I didn't marry your mother, I wasn't there every day but I made sure you were provided for, that you never wanted for a damn thing and saw you whenever I could. Even your mother lived comfortably enough because of me.
It's easier to walk away, Liam, it's easier to forget something no one can hold over your head. Three marriages but I've never neglected Mona or Nora. I've been a fair enough man but I won't go soft and won't see my children be soft.
So don't start on my choices when you've no grasp on the matter. Being your father is enough right to lecture you. You damn well know I wasn't the wrong kind.
