Also, when you're an assassin, you tend to be smart enough not to teach your kid everything you know (as implied by Cinder's "He taught you well" comment) and then be a collossal douche to him. The kid you are being a dick to lives in your house, has access to all manner of weapons that you are teaching him to use, and is being trained as an assassin. It kind of goes against common sense to treat him like crap. Which is the mistake he made. He taught him too well. Hence the "He's taught you well" comment.
