Summary
So much of a person depended on their parents. Charles was like his own mother. He was an unlovable asshole, a neglectful drunk, a bitter hermit. He wanted, so desperately he craved, a family. Erik was right, he was drowning. But not in alcohol or drugs, Charles was drowning in his own guilt. In trying desperately to be different, he had inadvertently become just like his mother.
"...You will follow your mother's footsteps. You will continue to neglect those around you, until they grow resentment. Charles, they will bury you the same way you buried your own mother. With indifference."OR
Charles tries desperately not to become like his mother.

Summary
Staring straight at him now, Charles saw his own face reflecting in the glass of the frame, overlaid on his father, blending into him like two peas in a pod. He was his father's mirror image. He had pushed those kids too far, forced them to use their powers for war, manipulated their desires to be someone, achieve something. He gave them power they could only ever dream of, precision, strength, new abilities they'd never even knew possible. Countless exercises, trial runs, experiments... He was gentle, never harming a single one of them, but the fact is, he had done just as his father would have.
OR
Charles was introduced to a needle before a pacifier. All his life, he had only ever been a lab-rat. Foolishly, he thought he had gotten away, but, after being introduced to Hank's serum, he realised some habits are hard to forget.
