@Soul_Binder_forever hi! I don't take any offense! I wrote this when I was still a kid myself, so I didn't really put that much time into explaining ANYTHING like how I do in my current re-write of the book - Cas' parents, who he calls mom and dad, are AJ and Micah Rex, who are really good people, but his biological parent, alongside Circe, is Jonah Rex, Micah's older brother, who did let all of this slide. While they do try to be there, they ARENT present enough because Cas pushes them away, but they do fail because they were an adult, and should have kept going/trying to protect him anyway, even if he didn't want the help. They are good parents, but they are flawed, too
