Not everyone is so lucky. You can't blame yourself for Andy. But, if you have time now, try and make some room for him in your life. He's only 19, after all, just a kid with his whole future ahead. Maybe it's too late for his mom (who sounds very, very selfish) but it's not too late for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1163625273733019352006-11-15T16:14:00.000-05:002006-11-15T16:14:00.000-05:00He does have a chance to do something with his lif...He does have a chance to do something with his life. It is never too late.

It seems like his mom set him up for failure, and that he never really ever stood a chance. She never treated him the way that you treat a child...he was always in her way. I know that I can't save the world, but I was hoping that maybe I could save this kid. <BR/> I don't think that he would come over if I invited him. He's not into the family time kinda thing right now. <BR/> I don't think that he'll turn his life around, either. KC wants me to kick his ass, she doesn't care if I kick it back to school!<BR/> And Nonny?

Who, I am sure, had a lot on your plate at the time [not too stable back then with dummy 1, eh?] - I know it breaks your heart to see him like this but the two things you have to remember is - this was HER responsibility and now that he is old enough he may just realize that what is done, is done ... and he may get to move on.<BR/><BR/>Give him a chance and please, stop beating yourself up about something you had no control over and you couldn't have fixed if you tried...this is their life...<BR/><BR/>It breaks my heart to see you in pain like this, but you don't need to be. He sounds as tho' he is taking care. Walmart is Walmart - but he has friends and he has a job. KUDOS for him - let him be or you will suffer for something you can't change, kay?<BR/><BR/>HUGS!SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1163579050663944582006-11-15T03:24:00.000-05:002006-11-15T03:24:00.000-05:00my heart goes out to you and all I wanna do hun is...my heart goes out to you and all I wanna do hun is throw my arms around you and give you a big squeeze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-1163577598607998642006-11-15T02:59:00.000-05:002006-11-15T02:59:00.000-05:00Hey, thanks for visiting my blog...you 've some re...Hey, thanks for visiting my blog...you 've some really nice thoughts to share with us.
