In Fighting for Mine, Chance Hanlon is a man who chose a self-adopted family over his own. He was the son of a drunk who liked to use his wife and kid as punching bags.

Putting on a pair of gloves and facing a hanging bag was much better than drinking himself stupid and beating up anyone who crossed his path.
