[QUOTE="witzend, post: 161600, member: 99"] Will it be too small for all of his friends, or some little kid he could con to crawl in for him? Just a thought... About the HS graduation, L didn't graduate, and she took it pretty hard that all of her friends were getting the recognition and she wasn't. M barely graduated, but he had told everyone that we had abused him, and some idiot was dumb enough to take him in. Our last name begins with W, so we went for drinks across the street, waited until an hour or so into the thing, went in and they were finishing the Principal's speech. We sat there until he got his diploma, and walked out. These people at the back of the auditorium said "What kind of family is [I]that[/I]?" It took everything I had to keep from saying "The kind that gave their kid everything and still cares enough to show up in spite of the fact that he stole from us, beat us up, and still somehow managed to make us look like dirt. What kind of a family are [I]you[/I]?" I guess my point is that it was L that didn't graduate, not me. In hindsight it was ok to be disappointed for what didn't happen, but if I had it to do again, I wouldn't feel guilty or ashamed. [/QUOTE]
