Sometimes in reality we never get to express our feelings. What's done is done, no one can change it. We need to look at the present.gordonwrites wrote:Every father would have regrets in this situation but we don't get any real feeling from Tom's character as to what he 'feels'. He is concerned for Sarah's wellbeing but whether he could be a better parent is impossible to gauge as we have no insight into what his relationship with Becky was like.

Sarah proved beyond Toms resoanable doubts that she is much wise than Myrah

Even though Becky was a handful, Tom should have been there for her more.jonaya wrote:certainly yes,Myrah proved to cause much problems more especially when she was at the same age as of Sarah.

I agree. The story never gave much insight into Tom and Becky's relationship. But I think that Tom will try to take care of Sarah and see that she is not harmed by Fletcher Lynch.gordonwrites wrote:Every father would have regrets in this situation but we don't get any real feeling from Tom's character as to what he 'feels'.

When Sarah landed into his hands, he was very worried as he did not wish to pass through exactly the way he did with his daughter and little did he know that Sarah was different

I don't really think he hated her. It probably just sometimes pained him to look at her.jonaya wrote:and Tom must have first hated Sarah in the first place because it is like the vision which he had for his daughter were coming back into reality for the second time

well remember that upon seeing her ,the first thing that came into his mind was the way Myrah behaved in the first place ,she really gave him headache and as a result, Tom did not wish to repeat the very same thing with Sarah .Amagine wrote:I don't really think he hated her.

I agree that he might have felt a twinge of regret though it's so little that it's almost insignificant.Christina Rose wrote:I think at one point, Tom comes out and says that he should have, and could have, done more for his daughter. So, I definitely think he felt regret.

I don't think he's very good at showing his feelings. So, it's kinda hard to say just how deep his regrets are. Plus, he's stubborn to a fault, which keeps him from admitting when he is wrong. Unfortunately, this trait can keep those around him at a distance at times.Salsabila wrote:I agree that he might have felt a twinge of regret though it's so little that it's almost insignificant.Christina Rose wrote:I think at one point, Tom comes out and says that he should have, and could have, done more for his daughter.
