(I'm also completely lost about what a certain white wolf in the Forest saw in her, but that's another issue).
I suspect the story is going to try and make me like Tony. But, while I'll cut him some slack for what a terrible father he's been--there's more incompetence than malice in him--he's still a terrible father who's hurt his daughter badly and is likely to keep on hurting her.
Kat's parents have a close up view of what he's doing to Antimony. If they've told him, he's not listening. If they haven't told him, then we've got adults who won't intervene to keep a man from abusing his daughter but who will gaslight the daughter to tell her why her dad isn't such a bad guy and how she should let this go.
But, that may not be the aim of this story. Also, Anja didn't go into this trying to win Annie over to a different POV. Instead, she's responding to finding out Annie thinks her father forced her mother into a relationship against her will.
Which puts me back to square one and not knowing how to take this.
