Catty1 I am not disagreeing with the sentence or trying to whitewash this guy, all I'm saying is that he became this way because of some unknown reason. As for schiz. yes, I mispelled it becuase half my post was missing. If you don't type fast enough you lose everything. As you read it started with violence towards animals and this is what I have observed so many times with kids who turn out this way. I also read that his parents were divorced which doesn't help children. Who is he referring to when he talks about his mom...his biological one or the stepmother?
Not that I am eager to blame parents but if you dig deep enough, the trouble usually starts there. Fortunately, yes, I do have children and was lucky enough to never run into problems with them.
As for being hard on myself I had goals to meet and I met then, no ifs or buts. I was raised with rules and learned it was easier to follow the rules than to attract attention the wrong way BUT I was also shown love and empathy...was he this lucky?
As for CPS worker, thanks for the compliment but no thanks, my stomach couldn't handle the stress of it all.
