I’d jump off a tall building before ever hitting or hurting my mom. This lil demon has to live with that reality his whole miserable life. Perish the thought.
My dad felt the same way. Long ago as a copper he got a call to a home where some 18yo thug was chasing him mom trying to hit her with a pipe. As told by my dad's partner to me at his funeral, he jumped from the squad car, ran into the home, saw the guy with the pipe and gave him 3 to drop it or he would drop him and began a quick count. The thug dropped the pipe. On the way back to the PD, the thug decided to kick my old man. Next stop, hospital emergency ward. Its a wonder what a black jack can do. Needed some dental work too. My dad was not a violent type, but there were some lines one did not cross, this clown went over two: trying to maim his mom and assaulting my copper dad.
