damian makes me SO sad like no you aren’t intrinsically evil or a failure to your family’s name you’re 14 and your dad is mean to you

I do really enjoy the idea of Bruce and Ra’s having a rivalry when it comes to Damian because of how self aware they are about how they failed Talia and they now project that guilt onto Damian by trying to pull him into the right direction (which is opposing in nature, and it always means staying with them only) except they don’t realize they are making the same exact mistakes with Damian as they did Talia because they never dealt with the root cause of the issue (their bad habits/flawed sense of morality due to childhood trauma) however Damian doesn’t suffer the same fate as Talia because he at least has her to guide him except nobody ever guided Talia therefore she is also very flawed in terms of being a mother and stumbles along the way so Damian isn’t completely out of the woods yet in terms of escaping abusive cycles—yeah.
