one of the more adjusted people was a dad who brought his 10 year old-ish son along. Both seemed normal and I thought it was *adorbs* that the dad was taking on his sons hobby.
It wasn't adorbs. The father who spends so much money on gaming that his wife left him, due to monetary problems and the fact he cared more about rhe MtG metagame than about their family is now pushing his son into the game. The son who looks up to the father, feels compelled to play the game his father spends so much time talking about and playing as he feels it's the only way they'll be able to connect.
