I kind of like this interpretation. I always thought that Odin loved his kids (and saw Loki as one of "his kids"), but failed at expressing it/at calling them out for their faults. I mean, it takes until Thor is almost starting a new war for him to decide that enough is enough already!

Yeah, I think his kids were Odin's blind-spot, so to speak. I think he was ridiculously biased in favor of them, so he couldn't see just how messed up they were. Or rather, he might have been able to see their problems, but he didn't want to see them.

Like you said, it takes Thor literally starting a war for Odin to be like, "Okay, that was it. Time for you to grow the fuck up." And I think that Loki was very good at hiding his true emotions, so it wasn't until Loki confronted Odin about the frost giant thing that Odin really understood just how flawed Loki was.

Anyways, I got a lot of Odin feels, and a lot of feels about that family, so it sort of bugs me when people seem to boil it down to "ODIN WAS A MONSTER, BLAARGH!" I don't think Odin was a perfect father (obviously) but I think he genuinely loved his kids, and I think it sort of broke him when he realized just how far off the mark he had been with them (hence the unfortunately timed Odin-sleep).
