It certainly doesn't imply the opposite.
You were wrong, by the way, on all counts. I was a soldier, in the Korean War. I killed my share of men, though it was hardly pleasant. I have never used my abilities on someone who has asked me not to unless there was no alternative, and I certainly wouldn't have done so with you. I was in agreement with you on killing Shaw. When I told you that killing him would not bring you peace, I was simply cautioning that it would not undo the pain you had suffered. He was too dangerous and unstable to be allowed to live.
As to my past? I was institutionalized after the death of my father, because in my heightened emotional state I had difficulty controlling my mutation. My mother was a drunk who was terrified of me. And my stepfather and stepbrother were violent and angry men who had no problem using their physical superiority to their advantage. Raven was the one bright spot of my family and I did my best over the years to protect her. Sometimes to the detriment of our relationship. I am well aware of the cruelties of the world, Erik, and I sought to keep her safe from them.
There. Now you can rest assured that you know all about me.
