However, his reasons for leaving were not entirely clear until later in the series when his past was revealed. Throughout the series, Hohenheim is portrayed as a terrible father for abandoning his family, particularly through the lens of Edward. Rather than attempt to establish a fatherly relationship with his son, Hohenheim chose to leave him a second time. The fact that this was the first time he had seen his child since he abandoned him years ago put him in an even worst light. His dear friend, Pinako Rockbell, even questioned this, but Hohenheim was seemingly okay with leaving without saying goodbye. While his fear was understandable, he failed as a father because he not only intentionally had children (and married Trisha) without resolving his inner conflict, but he also abandoned the responsibilities that accompany fatherhood.Īside from leaving his family at the beginning of the franchise, Van Hohenheim abandoned Edward once again the day after he unexpectedly encountered him. Seemingly, Hohenheim struggled with the fact that he was cursed with immortality and would have to watch his family grow old, and as a result, abandon them. Eventually, they got married and had two sons, Edward and Alphonse. After meeting Trisha Elric, Hohenheim fell in love and, though hesitantly, decided to pursue her.
