Comments of chapter undefined of Jumping Through the Omniverse as a Conduit

This was after Cole was dragged away from his five prior worlds. Due to Cedric's influence everything that Cole and his family had done was quickly undone and made even worse. The people looked to Cole's family for aid, but when they could not deliver, the people turned on them. Placing all the blame on them, Cole's wives shouldered all of their anger and frustrations themselves to spare the children no matter what form it took. The children never knew what their mothers went through, only Cole did when he read their letters to him. He kept quiet about it and bottled everything up because of the guilt he felt. Even though there was nothing he could have done, he felt horrible that he could not protect the most important people in his life. It is why he seemingly overreacted to many provocations from people weaker than him.
