To Those in the Know

If my son hadn't been with me, I would have punched someone on the street today. He was screaming at his kid. Calling him names. And when I pulled James away from it because I didn't want any child to see a parent treating their kid like that, the man got offended. He started screaming at me, and when his poor kid started crying, he smacked him.
I have rarely been so angry. It took everything in me not to chase him down and pummel him. Instead, I just rang the cops, but I don't know if anything happened. I hope it did. I didn't have a name or anything.
Fuck, I hate people sometimes.
And then James asked me why that man was being so mean to his son and I didn't know what to tell him. How do you explain that to a two year old?! I just promised him he would never have to know first hand. And dammit, he never will.

James is really fucking lucky to have you, Spectre, and everyone else who looks after him. I know I'm damn lucky to have had four awesome parents, too.
