Cole's dad is hateful and mean. he abused Cole his entire life and Cole was angry at him for it. during Cole's recovery from being muled by the Spirit Bear his mom decided to come clean about all the abuse her son had to endure from his father. The father then turned around and filed a law suite for being charged with child abuse, and a custody act to keep Cole away from his mother (which was basically just a act of pride, he didn't really want Cole and if he did it was for very bad reasons, but he wanted to prove that he could get away with anything and that anyone who dare challenge this will suffer the consequences). When Cole returned to the island and danced the dance of anger (which turned out to be the dance of forgiveness) he learned to forgive his dad for all this because his dad had abused him as well and it was all he had ever known.
