[ Dear dad. ]

Dear Dad, 

I don’t actually blame you for how I turned out.

I mean, I could, and a lot of people probably think I do, because I don’t like being compared to you, or talking about you. I don’t hate you. I don’t even dislike you, on principle.

In fact, I actually understand you now, in a way I didn’t use to when you were still alive, and were a frustrated man dealing with a kid who didn’t get why you didn’t have any TIME. I’m actually sorry that I didn’t understand that better.

All that said, I don’t particularly forgive you either. You did some questionable things as a father that I’d never repeat, and you prioritized a man who might well have been dead over the son who was right in front of you. 

I never thought you liked me, and even if you cared about me, I could legitimately never see it when you were alive.

I want to make you proud. But I never EVER want to be you.

Tony Stark
