Tw for child abandonment/abuse

One does not choose to be born. They have no vote on who their parents might be. Or what.

He did not choose to be under the guardianship of one who angered the gods. Or if the wife who bore the burden of punishment.

Nor his 'father', though he doubted even the bull would love him.

The minotaur would not have chosen this fate, a monstrous hybrid of man and animal. To be unloved by all that knew him, locked in a labyrinth, attacked by the young humans they sent after him.

He did not ask to live this life.
