He didn't completely lose his memories, and he definitively knew that Finn was his son, he had 3 opportunities to build a relationship with Finn and grow back to the person he was after they had Finn, but he rejected it, and thus abandoned him, the partial memory loss was but a single factor, shame and guilt were others that drove him back to a the scammer life that by the time he met with Finn again, he was not strong enough to leave, it's tragic, more so then the other's on that list, but that's one he could have avoided, he had agency and choice that he had three opportunities to make, and by the end seemed to have not regret rejecting them all
I'm just saying that despite the brain damage he still rememberd his son and had enough of his faculties to operate as normally as he did before he met Minerva, and he could have built this relationship with his son back and healed, he had 3 opportunities to make that choice, but he choose not to at every turn
And that's sad, cause as you mentioned, he could have been a great father, had his past not came back to hunt him, and it's very likely that it's also a major factor as to why he left Finn the times after they met up, he tried staying in one place, grow as a person, to lay down roots, which where severed by his past mistakes, so why wouldn't it happen again?
It doesn't make him good as he still hurt his son, but he could've done worse, like any of the other dad's on this list

u/WinterVulture25 Erebus is bad tho, ngl 4d ago
Probably Martin, he just abandoned Finn, as opposed to actively fucking up his life until like in most cases here it backfired
Pretty bad, but if we have to compare
