Can you begin to imagine what a disappointment he is to everyone, even those he thinks are his friends? I see them looking his way and talking behind his back. He is so insecure that he has to do make-believe things.
I suppose some win life's lottery and that means some lose. Some get lost and never find their way. That's my boy. So I know I have failed yet I still have faint hope he will turn his life around.
A mother can dream, can't she?
I'd love to hear more from Mike's Mom. Tell us exactly where you think you failed as a parent.
A big round of applause for Mike's Mom.
From your response it sounds like you did you best with what you had. I wouldn't be surprised if your other children have turned out wonderful and have big loving families.
My apologies for assuming you failed. Perhaps Mike just fell in with the wrong crowd growing up. After all, he did somehow get peer pressured into getting those horrible hair plugs and weekly spay tan contract.
