Ya know Harold the place is just boring without you ripping up on James. We missed you Sir. What is worse than David Hasslehoff? Two of him on the same video. That was just awful to watch. Anyway Harold I am sorry to hear that you have had to deal with another round of BS because of your medical situation, and wish you well on your recovery Sir. Listen to the Doctors and get well with their help.
As for the legal battles, well that is just bullshit that any man has to put up with that kind of crap when it is about your own kids. I went through pretty much the same crap with my EX and her family. I am happy to hear that things are working out for the better in your situation. Don't spoil him too much Harold. It is still your job to keep him on the straight and narrow, not to mention teaching him how to stand on his own two feet and be responsible. Our kids need more guidance from us than we sometimes feel like giving them. Being a parent is a tough job, and with your medical condition it becomes that much more difficult. I applaud you for your efforts and level of love for your son. I have heard my kids sometimes thiniking out loud about how much they hate me some days, because we are so strict on them. I know how I was at their age and we are not taking our eyes off of them long enough for them to get into any trouble like we did.
We will gladly welcome him into our family here on RCM and help him learn the right way regardless of the relationship you have with James. Besides if he is anything like you we are the ones who are in trouble.
