J's son is MOVING OUT!!! YAY!!!

Over the space of four years J's son has made a remarkable transition from annoying teenage ADHD criminal to hard-working, loving father of his child. Seemingly against all odds, he located a woman who seems smart and grounded, and together they are taking off to try to make a life of it.

On the first of the month we are cooking for two again, and enjoying a pleasant atmosphere, free of retarded top-of-the-lungs white trash arguments and petty thievery of hand tools[1] and eating utensils.

[1] For various birthdays and xmasses J bought me an excellent toolbox and complete screwdriver set. Out of the set, there is one screwdriver left, because it's in my desk drawer. To an ADHD youth, a toolbox is a place to locate and permanently borrow or hide hand tools. In the unique history of my toolbox, no tool has ever been returned to it, tools have only been taken out. I am not 100% blameless in this situation but, you know.

Good for you UT. Hoping new situation will offer you and J more peace.

Yay for you guys!

I sleep a lot better these days and when I wake up - there's no mess, no food everywhere and no 6'6" ginger on my sofa.

It's bliss.

Major congrats.

And let me just say, it is a remarkable thing J has done, to put her troubled lad down this path.

It was the arrival of the baby, now 4, that slowly changed the man-child into a man. He was struck by his responsibility, and felt motivation in order to give the child a better father than his own father had been. (The bar is set pretty low)

This is because J showed him the love and parenting that is supposed to happen. All hail J.
