my 'father'
is an alcoholic abusive bully with classic small man syndrome who made my first 18 years abject misery.

my mother buried her head in the sand through all this.

Because of him, you'll do your damndest to be the best dad and husband to your own family. You've become a decent man in spite of his influence, which makes you a squillion times better and stronger for it.

Glad to see you seem to be feeling better tha you were a couple of months ago.

You look after the little one just fine and he'll grow up with a good role model.
