Dear LW: I'm not sure I trust you with the precious psyches of your daughter and husband.

First of all, let's set race aside for a moment. (And this is me saying this.) Are you telling me that you're ok with some random man coming up to your child and touching her to satisfy his own desire? SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY??

Now let's bring race back into it, where it truly was all along. Unless there's a whole pattern you left out, your leap to "maybe my husband has anger issues" pisses me off on my brother's behalf. Have you actually listened to him talk about being Black in America? Can he talk to you about that? Have you talked to anyone about what it's like to be a Black woman in America? Because that's what your daughter has to be -- for example, that's not the last man who will feel entitled to her body, trust me -- and you need to help her deal with it.

You have some things to learn right away to take proper care of the man who entrusted his heart to you and the child the universe gifted you with. Get to it.
