After reading through all three pages here, it seems like he may be turning around from at least the hardcore stuff. While this in NO way abolishes the past, and the damage that has been done and paid for, and what is yet to pay for, I hope this gives you some reason to smile a little bit.

I still lived with mom and dad when I was 20, but I was going to the college that dad taught at, while we lived on campus. After one year of college, the plan was to sit out a year, and go to a different school. That didn't happen, and while I never paid rent to mom and dad, I did help some with food...not as much as I shoulda, but still...made my car payments, insurance, and such.

Either way, I hope things clear up, and you get your sense of normality back. Sounds like you're at least trying to make lemonade from the lemons life has given you. Keep your chin up! And another volley of good wishes into Lurkette's box!
