Here's the thing.

The fact that he shows emotion means he's not a sociopath, the fact that he feels regret means he still has a moral compass in there, and some powers of empathy. However, I do not believe that that makes everything peachy again.

In fact, sometimes that's worse. At least, from a sociopath you can expect it. But it's he people who do terrible things, then go home and play with their kid that are even more scary...because it proves any of us could be a monster.

Yes, all of this.

He was somebody that made a horrendous mistake and it cost him the paternal relationship he could have had with Odo. I have no doubts the guilt from that haunts him for the rest of his life or whatever.

At least Odo knows Mora acknowledges his ginormous fuckup.

People can forgive their abusers if the abuser makes a true effort to change. My best friend was molested by her father as a kid. He was on drugs. He cleaned up, feels horrible for what he did, did jail time and came out a changed man. He called her up sobbing and she was able to forgive him. Now they're close.

Doesn't work that way for everybody, but there's an example of how it's possible.

Alllllllll of this.

Plus it can really mess with the head of the victim. To see someone who's been awful to you act fairly healthily and normally around other people can really bring out a lot of those "maybe I deserve(d) it because I'm uniquely crappy" feelings that perpetuate victims' acceptance/rationalization of abuse. Which obviously makes it easier for the abuser to get off light while the victim still suffers, even after the fact. (Without going into detail here, I'm speaking both from personal experience and from more recent experience actually talking to victims.)
