Hi Darren. I already covered the police, the parents would eat them. The bigger point I was trying to make is that the environment we are raised within can make or break you. But ultimately you have to be responsible for the choice you make. It's like the movie "American X". Change is hard and for a five-year-old, it has the potential to cause more psychological damage then he had already had. Additionally he had a pure soul, he understood that he wasn't ready to leave, and perhaps by letting the cat and me go, he was displaying that someday he would free himself from that lifestyle. We may not be able to change the past, but we can choose to change our future and discover our own truths. And that can only happen for each person if the follow their own journey. Casey and I were at a fork in the road, and he was unable to join me on journey.
