For good reason. He hit me several times as a child when I was trying to restrain him during his night terrors. No major injuries, but he always felt bad about it when he woke up. I could handle him when he was a boy, but when he got older it became too difficult.

[ Maybe there is a boundary after all. Sort of. Jessica probably wouldn't actually mind knowing. She's morbidly curious. This family is messed up. ]
Point being, he's not going to ever put you in any sort of harm's way. He'd rather die himself than let that happen.

[ Or at least, never admitting it. ]
I know he wouldn't. It was pretty weird for me at first tbh. He's
Very different

My son is a good man, despite all of his issues. All I want is for him to be happy.
