I genuinely believe that sending Zuko away was the smartest most accidentally genius thing Ozai’s ever done. That’s the thing with abusive parents - if there’s more than one child, they will almost always develop a bond between themselves, even if they’re pitted against each other. Ozai burnt Zuko and then sent him away, setting a precedent for Azula and ensuring that she and Zuko would not be able to see each other as anything other than a rival. What the fuck

why do you defend Azula's actions so much but not Ozai's? he was born into the same family she was, if not a worse one
I have a very simple answer for you, anon:
Azula is a child. Ozai is not.
Yes, Ozai was abused. Azulon, from what we've seen of him, was a horrifically controlling father who probably pitted Ozai and Iroh against each other just to keep his own power. I have no doubt that Ozai suffered, and that is also heartbreaking in its own right.
But there comes a time where you just cannot excuse people's actions anymore. Ozai has been free of his father for decades now and he still chooses to take the actions that he does - comparatively, Azula has never known life without Ozai looming over her head. Ozai is an adult capable of making his own decisions concerning war and genocide, and has been so for a very long time; this makes him near-irredeemable, if not entirely so.
Azula is a child. Her actions have been cultivated by a need for recognition from Ozai, and she is fourteen years old.
