molding balls of clay voice Ive been thinking of kruegers parents and their relationship and how it affected kruegers childhood which created him as we know him. i dont think he was violently abused like that just doesnt work hes not tortured in any way he just like kind of Is. he just exists Like This. but hes still kind of resentful of them like he did kill them. i just dont think they were ever Violent towards him but emotionally very neglectful. like a very absent and wishywashy father who ranges from being rly strict to like throwing up his hands bc it just doesnt Work with sebastian hes so blasé bc he knows the rules dont last and hes never rly there to enforce them. and his mom being similar but bc shes the woman shes like more In his life but resentful of That but not in a way where she actively takes it out on him its just like very obvious as krueger gets older she feels Stuck in her life and its bc she had him. like his parents arent married but they've always been together bc they Had Him and they want him to have two parents and its just not working out but its an inability to confront the problem and properly achieve their own wants While keeping sebastian's well being in mind. like they Should not have had them and they are doing their best like hes their son but theyre just not good at being parents theyre not very warm. and hes their only child so he didnt learn any sort of consequences thru interacting with siblings day to day his interactions with children are p strictly at school and school punishments are meant to be followed through with at home and that just didnt happen with him. and since hes left alone a lot he becomes independent very quickly so like as soon as hes a teen and hes old enough to roam he just like Is Roaming and his parents arent bothered by it like hes just being a kid. they dgaf what he gets into as long as nobody gets hurt (but they'll never know if anybody gets hurt bc he never talks to them about anything bc why would he?).
i do think krueger Liked his parents a lot bc again he was free to do whatever he wanted. and i imagine they vacationed decently often which is just fun as a kid like you dont remember your parents petty arguments during vacations as a kid and once hes in the habit of exploring on his own he just gets to Do This in new areas. and they might fuss at him for disappearing but like hes still Alive so its not so serious. Nothing is ever done about it. Nothing is ever done about anything krueger does.
