Re: Transcript by OP

I don't agree. My dad is also not a great guy. Comparing him to other father figures (both real and fictional) made me realize how deficient he is. The knowledge doesn't make me happy, but it does make me wiser about how to handle him, how much of my emotional effort to give our relationship, and why he behaves the way he does.

It's true that comparison can be the thief of joy, but if I didn't have a better role model to compare him to, I still wouldn't be over here rejoicing about my dad. That saying is for people who have perfectly good dads, but obsess over fantasy perfect dads.

Secret OP is suffering because of comparing their real life to a fantasy. That’s not good. And they seem to think Keith is a realistic father and possibly a very common type. But the interactions that make him such a perfect-for-Veronica father are all narrative choices. Life doesn’t work that way.

Well, yeah, but Veronica is very like Keith in both positive and negative ways. A parent who is similar to their kid and understands and supports them is not particularly way out as an idea, especially as he is absolutely not the perfect dad.

He isn’t a perfect dad, he’s a perfect-for-Veronica dad. He’s a narrative device, nothing more.
