The Best Teacher
There are good guys out there. My mom found one of them.
Here's a post about him from years back. He has only gotten to be a better man.

As I've gotten older, my dad has gotten smarter and smarter.
It's amazing, because he was pretty much a pain in the butt and a doofus when I was 15.

In my case, my mother didn't find a good one, but the one she chose had a wonderful brother!
My biological father ditched my mother and four kids after a divorce--I was a teenager. His brother, my uncle, stepped in as a father-figure for whom I will forever be grateful.
He died in a farming accident about 15 years ago, and not a single day goes by that I don't think of him and smile.
