My DH is a product of a mentally, emotionally and physically abusive, alcoholic father and a mother who is devoutly religious and is an enabler. My DH has addiction issues, and a slew of health problems including mental health issues and blood pressure, thyroid and digestive problems. He is an incredibly loyal, desperately loving, beautiful broken man. His ex gf and my SD's BM was a ruthlessly manipulative, coniving, cheating witch when she was with my DH starting around 10 years ago for around 3 years off and on.
