it is more than trust. you are ruthless and ambitious. you have a talent for deception. these are important traits for mika to have if she wishes to survive in faerie. sofija intended to raise her as a human. it is quite different from how the fae raise children. that is no longer an option.
fae do not raise their children with such a hands-on approach. they learn to survive on their own, or die trying. i know sofija would not approve of those methods, but i have no talent for teaching children. do you dislike mika so much? i would not blame you.
[ good to know faeries set themselves up to fail all on their own from the start. ]
It has nothing to do with Mika. This is about you. Would your wife also approve of pushing this off on someone else? Your daughter is human and fae. I am neither of those things. There will always be a limit to what I can show her.
i do enough for her. i went into a trash can for her. you and mika have something else. that is not the kind of relationship we have. i do not wish for her death. i would do anything to keep her alive. do you have experience in human methods of parenting?

But I'm not her father, and I never will be.
I know that parenting requires more than one person.
Maybe you should help me and stop expecting me to do everything.
