Being a Martinez native for 31 years, i started to feel like it was “my” town. but there’s some low lifes and punk ass kids down town that scare the shit out of me.

so i know the feeling of it being “his street” but those crack heads dont give a fuck. no fucking respect. and if you got some crazy bitch telling her crackies someone at your house is keeping them from it.. you got problems.

Thank you.<br/><br/>Its hard for me to let go. I'm an only child, and I'm all he has in this world. Me living 600+ miles away makes it that much more hard for me as well.<br/><br/>I have learned to let him make his choices, but each choice(or non-choice as you put it) isn't easy. I only want the best for him, much like how he only wanted the best for me when I was younger.<br/><br/>Thank you again for your words. Eternally Curious,

Great words of wisdom. Thank you.

Its hard for me to let go. I’m an only child, and I’m all he has in this world. Me living 600+ miles away makes it that much more hard for me as well.

I have learned to let him make his choices, but each choice(or non-choice as you put it) isn’t easy. I only want the best for him, much like how he only wanted the best for me when I was younger.

Thank you again for your words.

My ex also had a similar "cancer": his ex (before me, and the natural mother to my step kids) decided - late in their marriage that she was a lesbian(now just how in the HELL does that happen?). Mostly because her new "girlfriend" convinced her so. This person then proceeded to completely isolate and alienate my ex's ex from her own children! The "girlfriend", of course, loved it! But later, when the mother thought maybe she wasn't a lesbian and threw the "girlfriend" out, the [insert not-nice word of choice here] went after the kids! Tried harassing and threatening them, in retribution. Trust me that really backfired on said not-nice-word person! And yes, I got more than a small amount of pleasure out of that, trust me! They are, after all, my step kids! <br/><br/>As to your father, he sounds an awful lot like my ex. Which is to say - he ain't gonna make any changes until he's damn good and ready to. And I know you know this. In his mind he is now, and likely always will be, a bad-ass 20 year old. I know you want him safe, but I also know that deep down inside, more than anything else, you just need him to be taken care of. The problem is - you think you need to do that. You don't, you know. You only need to love him and to let him know that as often and as much as you can. Anything else, including his choices or non-choices in life, are entirely up to him. <br/><br/>Sorry if I've intruded - don't mean to - I just care.
