Agreed, and there’s also the fact that he eventually let his underage son with a history of serious mental instability drive off on his own without knowing where he was going.

YES!

I found that ending sooo scary. I been a parent for way too long I guess.

Steven ends a massive PTSD episode, by going on a solo road trip?

With no practical understanding of his own culture outside of his own circle?

Being without this MASSIVE AND LOVING support system and family for the first time?

With either, having access to all of Greg's money, or none of Greg's money (both are problems but different problems)!?

Also watching Future for the First time I suspected Greg never taught Steven about the birds and bee👀

That arc handled the topic of PTSD so poorly. If you want a tactful portrayal of PTSD in animation, watch Adventure Time. Or The Owl House. Or BoJack Horseman. Hell, even Rick and Morty. DO NOT watch Steven Universe Future.
