    I’m a dv outreach worker, and there’s certain types of men that are raised in abusive homes that turn out FIERCELY protective of women. Nobody will ever fight for a woman as hard as they do, ever. I bloody love men like that, I absolutely bloody love them

      He definitely values women as people, that’s for sure,

      Witnessing that, may have been the birth of his mental health issues. She was able to leave with support of her parents, but it definitely affected her first and second born sons in a profound way. They love their mom, and she is lovely. Im just greatful his father saw my husbands mental health going down some years after in late youth/early adulthood (and beyond), and supported him though it emotionally. There was a lot he had to work through, more so then just his mom too. It took a long time, but his father’s support saved him from a dark road. It wasn’t his mother he was calling drunk at 3am to sob over the phone, it was his father, and his father always gave empathy and love.
