You walk into your boyfriend’s room and see him crying while clinging to a pillow, pretending it’s you. You make your way over and crouch down on the side of his bed, gently caressing his back.

Baby doll..what’s the matter? What has you so upset?

You ask him softly while still tenderly caressing his back.

M-m-my dad y-yelled at me again

He says before his bottom lip quivers more and he bursts into tears.
