You've had quite a life, Jack. . . and it seems you're doing everything you can in the right way, and Kade is well cared for. You can't do any more than that... Thanks for sharing your background. It's very interesting. I do hope, however, that Kathleen finds some stability & happiness...sounds like her life has been anything but pleasant...

But I know what has to be in my life to keep me on the straight and narrow and following my rules does that for me. Some of my 'guidelines' may sound strange to others. For instance, I have the personal opinion that the only people out and about on the streets after dark are either on a specific mission, in an emergency, or up to no good, so me and mine are indoors after dark unless it just has to be. Anyway, works for me. > <SNIP>
