My oldest son has been a bit of a challenge from birth. He’s basically a good kid but seems to get into crap without even trying. Well I know I have sang the praises of my children which is what parents do. No one wants to really air out their dirty laundry in public, now do they? But I have come to the conclusion that to only hide these things doesn’t help anyone, especially someone else that might be going through a similar thing.
Drugs were a problem with my son for awhile but he basically has a handle on that now. He’s working hard to get his life back in order but has a long way to go still but he’s working on it. I’m not sure if those are just the words I want to believe or if they’re the way it really is. As his father, they are the words I want more than anything else to believe.
Trouble seems to find him no matter where he is or what he’s doing and that has happened yet again. He was in the south working with a carnival. I now look at Carney’s differently than I used to since he took that job because the people he works for are really helping most of these people more than we know or could imagine. Anyway, a lady asked him to drive him to the store and he said he would for $10. He needed money. What he didn’t know is that she was an undercover cop and lead him right into a sting operation. That night, 4 guys were arrested and my son was one of them.
He didn’t have any drugs on him but he had a pipe and some scales in his truck. The truck is in my name and therefore I’m liable for the tow and storage bill. He may go to prison for solicitation and drug paraphernalia. Now I have to decide what to do about his truck which has a lot of his belongings in it. It has a camper shell on the back and that’s what he slept in. I have been told that I need to get the truck out of my name because if he was to have an accident, I am liable for what ever damage he causes, even a loss of life. I could lose everything I have worked for. Now I have a tough decision to make that I don’t really want to make either.
