Dude, I'm sorry that happened to you.

My father was the fuckhead in my family, and he definitely fucked me up a bit. They say that it's worse for a boy if abused by his father, and I get what they're saying because you don't get a proper example of what a man is supposed to be.

But my mother was a saint, and sweet. I could always run to her and she poured her love on me like sunshine on sugar cane. Probably made me a bit of a momma's boy for a while, but I'd have been a monster otherwise.
