I can acknowledge mommy dearest’s drinking problem and try to get her help while still being 100% against getting beaten to death by “my” father.
The fact that he lets me as much candy as I want, anytime I want, doesn’t make him a “good” dad, or stop me from puking up blood because he kicked me in the stomach again. I may eventually die from mommy’s neglect, but there is no coming back from being beaten to death.
