I WISH I HAD BETTER MALE FIGURES

All I hear are stories of how awesome my maternal grandfather was and I’m starting to realize that he was probably the model I needed growing up. My parents are still together but my father is a raging alcoholic and has gotten worse over the years.. he thinks his money is the only way to show his love when all we needed was for him to be easy to talk to and their emotionally. My husband doesn’t know his real father as he is in jail for life and my husband has his own issues with that alone. My husband relies on everyone around him to help him survive bc his mother has babied him to that point, always feeling sorry for him… and I sat here and decided to marry him. He is a great dad but terrible provider for our family.

We now have a son and I’m worried about how he will turn out as a man… I can only be his mother…
