Dad to Matt: if you think all my decisions are wrong I guess I'll just STOP making any decisions ever :/
Dad to Mom: whatever decision you make, it doesn't matter to me whatsoever.
Dad: when you have to make a decision you have to consider the other persons feelings before your own so you don't end up hurting anyone (something he has NEVER done in his entire life)
Dad: I think the loving caring thing to do is to make him go.
Dad: I don't want you to make your decision based on how guilty you feel about it, it has to be about what's right.
He doesn't care about us at all.
He can convince his side of the family, he can convince Mom, but he will NEVER convince any of his kids that he genuinely loves or cares about us.
After that "making him stay would be the loving caring thing to do" thing, I don't even think he knows what loving and caring is.
