He is Mercy's father. He is a narcissist and husband of Regina Hurt. They love drinking crown royal. He threatens to, but never beats Mercy and Reva. He is nothing but invalidating. He never spends quality time with Mercy, and when he does, it's watching TV. He never does anything fun with Mercy, and if he does, it's rare. Both Dustin and Gina fat-shame Mercy. Dustin is toxic, and an alcoholic. He loves his daughter Hope dearly. He is slightly gentler. He is also invalidating.
