Like it's also true that he grew up in a generation and in a culture where men weren't emotionally available. It is also true that he did the best that he could with the tools that he had.

And sometimes the things that you adopt or that you inherit from your parents, even the crappy parent is great. So you have to start to see it differently. And it challenges us to become the wiser person in the room.
