Was the EMPEROR REALLY a BAD DAD? | Warhammer 40k Lore

The Emperor was such a terrible father, even by the standards of Warhammer 40,000! He treated the Primarchs, who were 100% definitely his sons, awfully, and that's why the Horus Heresy happened. But...did he? The Space Marine Legions and their leaders certainly thought their complaints were justified, but when we scroll through the lore of 40k and read their actual stories, it seems that his kids were pretty awful too!
