Forwarning: sorry in advanced for horrible spelling and grammer, also forgive my usage of singular statements in reference to The Emperor. Enjoy otherwise.

1. Horrible father, Granted.... there is many cases where it shows that HE was a horrible father... Never once did he tell Logar "hey kiddo, i stamped out faith in things we cant see... stop being silly, and get engaged in your work"

Flip Side : how does a person who never had a father figure, gain experience in being a father? HE was never born of flesh like a normal human, HE Sprang into being (lets go with the Shaman origin for simplicity here) HE was kinda like Highlander, but HE was never raised, as a son... so by never going through youth, how was he to know any better.

Secondary: Who knows how HE would have done as a father if HE had His sons from the get go, vice thrown the to the cosmic winds? maybe on arrival and seeing these 18-20's something in Primarch years already be kings...maybe he figured they just dealt with it, AND

third: that being around siblings, equals, thats the less mature ones (Night Huanter for example) would have seen a better way of doing stuff.

2. why HE never told them about the gate: there are many reasons...1. minus one Primarch (MtR) HE did not have (to our knowledge) plans for using their psychic powers. so telling a WARMASTER and the greatest warriors of all time that his next big project was

A. involving that realm HE has suggested/stated is not that big of a deal would have required addidtional explaining.....something HE is not too fond of (reference 1. horrible father explanation)

b.(this one is going to get me alot of flak but work with me here folks) the complexity of the task was so titanic that HE had to bend HIS entire focus on the subject states that his 20 something year old (in primarch years) might not have been up for the task... Horus mentioned just dealing with the social responsibilites of the Warmaster was tasking. (book 1 i think) lets take another look at that folks.... running the ENTIRE GALATIC WAR EFFORT was considered tasking... to a primarch.. (yes Horus was not the most organizationally inclined  Primarch, that belongs to RG of the UltraMarines) and when Corax visted HIM is the only time we here of HIM being taxed on anything..... so if something is bothering HIM.... imagine what that would do to the Psyche of HIS still growing kids?

c. Do we even know what HE was dealing with exactly? (deliverence lost reference) or who HE was referencing of people/beings that would miss HIM?

d. The Galaxy is HUGE, hence why HE wanted to take it on with 20 Primarchs, not 18... when one looks at the galatic map and see that the 500 worlds of ultramar are just a coin on a map the size of a desk, that should put it into context what HIS ambitions where. which mind you, The Primarchs never expanded to all the edges of the galaxy... which people need to think of a a sphere vice a box... but the Galatic East, but only a part of it was held by the RG, and to the West Cadia was only barely visited by the WB of all people... that leaves the the rest of the sphere still not touched.... So would the goal of Galactic conquest be helped if a Primarch or Two came off the front lines to help DAD with His project? simple response is no.

So what we are dealing with is His Goals... HE, if it was not for Magnus, would have either finished the Webway hacking project, or after the galaxy had been full taken over, brought in HIS sons into this picture...

Last note on this Rant... HE did seem to want what was best for HIS kids with the underground penthouses he had for them, thinking that one day, after all was taken, that HIS sons would get over themselves, and be like a dysfunctional brady bunch and all come together.... they were each others only peers... only they could truely understand each other (obviously DAD forsaw that) who is to say that after a few THOUSAND years, the primarchs would have aged a bit more emotionally, (or he had them programed to slow down a smidge...like a real soft version of the planned delinqunecy of the Thunder Warriors) understood that the material plane was just that.... stuff... shadows and dust.... and that there was the Immerterium and all its infinite wonders to deal with? [http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Jago_Sevetarion1 Jago Sevetarion1: it would not have killed HIM, but it would have not been apart of HIS plans. Thank you for inspiring me to get that all out there... iv had that thought before, but seeing it made me think abit more]
