Talk:Charlie Swan/@comment-66.138.59.115-20130412000246

Charlie was a great dad. Most dads would have thrown their kid out over the heartache and stress that Bella caused. He does tell Bella that she might be better off with Renee during her depression (New Moon). I think Charlie often felt helpless when it came to Bella. Charlie's natural instincts warned him that something was "not right" with Edward, and he consstantly tried to persuage Bella to stay away from Edward. Actually Bella really got away with a lot of things and to a certain extent, took advantage of Charlie by his deep love for her. I'm not trying to paint an unflatering picture of Bella. She loved Charlie. She stayed home the majority of time since she was so anti-socical, cooking and cleaning for Charlie. But, Charlie really diserves a "Father of the Year Award" for everything he was forced to deal with.
