How does he "know" his father was a loser. Because his mother said so?
His step-parent may have chose to marry his mother, or "parent him."
His father may have had no choices at all.

By your reasoning, if I had custody of my child, I could simply say
that my wife/girlfriend/whatever is her mother and the social contract
would make it true. What a crock of shit.
