But really how hard did Scott actual look for his son and Maddie? With all the resources he had he should have been able to find them easy if he actually tried. Plus if he actual did use all his resources and still couldn't find them then shouldn't that have told him something was very very wrong and that they were in trouble. I don't give credit for him raising Nate in the future because he basically stumbled into that ass backwards. He was not trying to find him he just found himself there so he kind of had to step up and take responsibility. Hell if Jean was not with him he probably would have done everything in his power to get back to her, and left Nate again. Make all the excuses you want and Marvel has tried over the years to make him not look so bad, but in the end Scott was a shit husband to both his wives and a shit father.
