I wish I’d been wrong about your mom before, and it’s not right that she treated your siblings that way. Your dad, on the other hand, was always this way. He said it himself about your mom. He wasn’t changed by the circumstance of living in the woods, he just hid his real self until your mom was trapped. He’s getting what he deserves.

NOW then. That’s out of the way. You e probably realized that Jacek is going to be just fine with his newly bifurcated tongue…some might say he’s even better than before ;)
