I still can't fathom how Cotton Hill, a deranged foul-mouthed sourfaced shinless whoremonger, managed to seduce at least three women without money changing hands.

I've known guys IRL that make Cotton look like Jimmy Carter, and they usually have at least a couple of ex-wives or a kid with some woman. People are weird, basically.

Much like Bill and Boomhauer, you'd be surprised how far persistence and lack of shame will get you. And Cotton has no qualms about going after women who are emotionally vulnerable in the first place.

My parents don't work, we nearly lost our home. My dad abandoned us for awhile and he was nearly killed with a 2x4. That's him

He is a manipulator with an eye for vulnerable targets. I'm assuming Hank's mom just wised up after enough years of being with him

I can, but then again, I grew up in Texas.

A lot of woman, especially in his heyday, had been conditioned with the exact sort of trauma and deliberate miseducation that drew them to men like that, and a mix of social shame and lack of work/fair pay available to women trapped them in those marriages. There's a reason divorce was so rare back then.

Hell, he'd basically be considered a pretty average husband in those days, if not unusually gentle. He didn't even beat her or Hank. Husband of the year right there.

poo poo was pretty bleak for women.

I think my guess would be that it was probably not long after Hank was grown up and out of the house, or at least big enough to take care of himself. 'Staying together for the kids' is generally a bad idea but I imagine she didn't want to have to deal with being a single mother, nor leave Hank's care to Cotton, but once she doesn't have a kid to be taking care of she has no more reason to stay.

It's really not too subtle that a huge reason why Hank is so repressed and struggles to express his emotions is because of Cotton outright terrorising him and his mother for their entire lives. Definitely one of those things where he understandably and rightly doesn't want to subject people to that but goes a bit too far the other way.

I always kinda figured that part of what Hank initially saw in Peggy was basically the opposite of his mom, who would disassociate as a defense mechanism when faced with Cotton's abusive bullshit and leave him to try and deal with it on his own. Meanwhile Peggy, for as monstrously overinflated as her ego is, will never simply disengage and take poo poo from anyone ever.
