I should hate him.

His entire existence is a mark on my parents' characters-a sign of Father's weakness and Mother's inability to keep her husband in her bed.

Father left soon after he turned up on our doorstep, his human grandfather wearing a look of disgust on his face. Maybe he was just too ashamed.

Mother just... went insane. Her mind warped and twisted and she made both our lives a living hell.

Because of my little brother, many of my own friends turned into my enemies, punishing me for my father's sins.

But...

I just can't hate him.
