have i failed as a father?

I feel like a failure. My youngest son has hacked into his brother’s facebook account and threatened to kill someone. And then he lied about doing it, even when confronted by the evidence. How do I learn about this? The victim’s parents called the Sherrif. I don’t blame them. I blame myself. I blame my son. So tonight I am admitting my son to the mental health unit at the hospital. I don’t know what else to do. How do I protect him while protecting the rest of the family? Or protecting others in our community?

frustrated beyond compare

I am frustrated.  My health is up and down due to my auto-immune disorders.

and now a call from the prize patrol

We have been in the city since early this morning for my doctor appointment. David spent some time with his grandfather. He has been incredibly patient this morning. While I was at grandpa’s house grandpa got a phone call from someone who wanted to know if they could deliver his prize today. The prize? 4.5 million dollars, dad just had to pay 1% of the prize and give his checking account number. Dad handled it very well. Told him to take the fee out of the check and then mail him the check. The guy called twice, and each time Dad did the same thing. Pretend to be hard of hearing, not speak very good english, and then say goodbye. We had a good laugh about it. Tweet #fighting4answrs
