Ofcourse that was meant in a negative way
* first he tries to get his son married to a girl he does not love
* then he disowns him for marrying a girl of his choice
* he tells his wife to leave him as well if she wishes to accompany her son
But he doesn't do anything when heer is tortured again and again and again by DJ? or does he think that I don't care a damn what the world does with their daughters.. DJ held her captive and yet all he did was go in her room and talk to her... and then lock the doors again??? well we don't know that for sure, but still...
