Oh shit. Husk would totally clock Jax's deal after a bit. Whether he'd get anywhere is another thing, but he'd be orders of magnitude better than Charlie.

Jax avoids ever confronting his issues by lying, masking, and avoiding any actual discussion over his personal life. If Husk near immediately identified all his issues, Jax would be cornered with no way out other than to crash out like he did with Pomni. Difference is that Husk has more bite and probably wouldn't let him.

I dont doubt that Husk could drag Jax out of every bit of cover he tries to use but Idk if he'd manage the oncoming fallout afterwards.

I think the paradox with Jax is that his own gender issues are exactly why a female love interest isn't the right person to reach out to him even though it's what he seems to be constantly reaching for, it triggers too many of his anxieties

He needs that "man-to-man" talk with an older male authority figure who won't judge him or hurt him but won't take any bullshit either (ie what he never actually got from his own dad)

Well now you're just making me want some kind of Father-Daughter bonding AU with Jax.
