shitty dads are a travesty, my dad was a alcoholic until i was around 12 or so, ive seen him kick folks ass, smack around my mom, tear all kinds of shit up...hated him for a long time, but now hes one of my best friends, my parents stuck through it thick and thin, and have been married for over 25 years, i fucked up a few years ago and got my girlfriend pregnant, i was 19, she had just graduated highschool, i sucked it up, been married for just over 4 years and my son will be 4 in may.....best/worst thing thats ever happened to me, i didnt get to finish all the schooling i wanted to do, even though i worked my balls off to support my family and go to school, but then again, anyone whos had kids knows youd do most anything for them, and i wouldnt trade my kid for the world

my wife is adopted, hasnt seen or talked to her mom in over 15 years, and the bitch lives less than 2 miles from us, knows where we live, and still makes no effort to be involved, shit happens everyday, obviously some of us, such as QD, are strong enough to make it through while others choke, my hats off to qd, no doubt about it, thats a tough one to overcome, just brings everything into perspective that when you think something you went through was rough theres always someone out there whos had it tougher

back on topic.....what position does your son play qd?

..what position does your son play qd?

Shortstop and second. Sometimes catcher. They ended up winning tonight, 4-1. He is now 2-2 with a walk, an RBI and 2 runs scored in 2 games. They are 2-0, also. Thanks for the words, dude. Later, QD.

Agreed.

Glad to hear you didn't choke, either, and manned up.

I live in a DFCS home, and help to care for them when I can. We're a temporary foster home. When DFCS first gets the kids, we take them in and take care of them until a more permanent home is found. That's my part to give back to the community...
Been doing it for about 4 years now, I guess? Our home has had over 20 kids...I'd say somewhere around 30. It's hard to see what some of these kids anywhere from 4 days old to 12 years old have been through. That's where part of my perspective comes from. I'd rather not go into the other details. Some of these kids are really cool, and it' shard to believe they've seen some things that some of us can't ever even imagine. We had one kid that was a little under a year. He had scars on his back where he'd been beaten, a broken arm, and broken leg. We've had near crack babies. We got that one when he was 4 days old, and he's 3, 3.5 years now. He's a brat...but I guess you could say I've become a bit attached. He's back in full custody under his father. Dad struggles, but he does his best.
