“Listen, it is no secret that there are some women who will take advantage of a good man. So, let me ask you a question… Are you raising your son to know HIS self-worth?

And don’t be in denial… Men become victims to women that don’t mean them any good.

Do your son a favor and instill self-love early on!”
