Re: Another wretched hive of scum and villainy - new OOC
Thanks, Shard. There is a lot of good stuff. It's just busy stuff.
And to be entirely honest (whisper down a well at midnight, as it were), even the kid and his mother fighting is, long-term, a "good" thing. She's not a very good person, and not a very good influence, and not a good advocate for his well-being with school and other places where advocacy is required.
The BEST thing would be for her to change her ways, but barring that unlikely occurrence, what has happened (he's gotten upset enough at her to decide to stay with us full-time for a while) will be good for him.
It's just hard for him. It's some heavy stuff for a 15 year old.
