[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 560834, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I am glad he is getting out and I hope and pray that he will take his situation seriously and do what he needs to do to be a father and husband. Given his and his wife's financial situation, they should easily get medicaid (whatever your state calls it) and this pays for therapy.
