lol, just some compassion would be nice. the thing about partners like the uke who are in higher/authoritative positions, they think they need to solve everything and get shit done in all aspects of life. in reality, uke is dealing with a lot of shame and embarrassment swirling around a bit of fear with his abusive father. what he’d appreciate is just listening to him and trying to prove that it’s a safe space to talk about those struggles, not trying to immediately solve a problem (that is NOT yours!!) and then telling mc he should’ve gotten rid of his dad ages ago, as if it’s that easy..poor baby.
