Why Can't Eb Just Be Honest With Harry?

It is a little more serious than that, Eb is entitled to keep his sex life private, but this is a major hate
and it had created a wall between him and Harry... His hate has blinded him so badly that Eb couldn't conceive of the idea the Raith was living with Margaret? And he had dinner with them a couple of times a year? Really?
--- Quote ---It seems that Ebenezer does not trust Harry and wants control over him to educate and shape him into someone more to his liking.
--- End quote ---
I agree he wants to control Harry, but what is odd are the sudden trust issues, those seemed to be
resolved as of Changes or just before, he and Harry shared some pretty serious conspiracy theories that could get both of them in a lot of trouble or dead.. That requires the deepest of trust.
--- Quote ---Are we forgetting that a White Court Vampire seduced and then murdered Ebenezer's daughter?
--- End quote ---
No, but at the same time from Eb's reaction to the fact that Thomas is his grandson...He was in total denial that Raith was boinking his daughter, something that should have been obvious..
Arjan:
Or he knew but he did not think about offspring. His daughter was under their influence and now he thinks Harry is too. Thomas might be his grandson but he is a monster and Ebenzer expect him to do what monsters do. So his grandson is doing stupid things because of vampire influence that will lead to his dead. He wants to get Harry back whatever it takes.

Yeah, but he is going about it totally the wrong way..

--- End quote ---
Didn't Eb say there was someone else?

He had a dinner with Maggie, some vampires, and probably some others. We've been through this.

The right way would have been to join Harry on the boat and have a chat but Harry had three monsters on board and his free will was compromised by Lara. You can not expect Ebenezer to go on board under these circumstances.
Freydis chose exactly the right illusion to make everything worse.
