Art, Why I ask, are you angry with ME?
I totally understand addiction and abuse. My Dad grew up in an orphanage in Hartford CT. Both parents were alcoholics. The state took he and his siblings away.
He was beaten every time he wet the bed and for many other reasons too. His shoes were taken away each summer, and in the fall, the kids would rummage through the pile to find a pair that fit. The same with coats.Treated like the slaves from the south. I could go on, but you get the idea.
My ex-husbands father died in a one car DWI accident. Four of his five kids have issues with drinking, some worse than others.
This is why I worry SO much about my son. I am totally convinced it is genetic.
Another thing, I do not lie. I have ADD and learned at a very young age, that I couldn't remember the story I had lied about. As an adult, I couldn't sleep at night if I were to steal or lie. It is just the way I have always been. I also hold my friends to the same standards. I wouldn't want a friend that I couldn't trust.
As I told you earlier, I come here to hopefully see how the other kids like him are doing. elan doesn't follow-up with progress. It is my window. A very small one,but I like to keep it open.
Another question,why do the girls who recently started posting not get the wrath of Artmann? They didn't like it, but are glad they went there. Why have you spared them? I cannot understand why you are not be happy for someone who turned their life in the right direction. No matter how it happened, God bless them! As long as they are doing well and no one was hurt is how I feel.
I would really like to put this behind us Art.
Cindy
