    If he is trying to pay resitution for a crime he commited, I assume he may also be trying to turn around his life. Part of that is taking personal responsibility for himself and being a responsible person. Also, for the sake for your child, you need to know what kind of crime he commited...

    Usage of Pot for PTSD

    I've never touched an illicit drug either (pot's illegal in the states). I grew up with four out of five of my first cousins on my mother's side having addicition problems. My mom would say stuff like. "Oh by the way your uncle called and your cousin just broke her arm trying to escape from...

    A Letter To My Family & Loved Ones

    I love your post. It was very poetic. There's nothing wrong with a dobie as a service dog. I hear they can be very loyal and are ideal family dogs. Although she's much more than a pet, I'm sure you have great affection for her.
