I was raised by a cocaine addicted mother that stripped for money, never knew my father until I was 17yrs old, and even afterwards he had nothing to do with me. So I basically raised myself.. To make a long story short, I always felt like no matter what god had my back! So I made a lot of good decisions for myself and now I own my own business and have a wife and two little boys that will never have to go through what I went through!
My mom has now turned her life over to god, and you couldn't ask for a better lady. Sometimes she tells me what to do with my kids and I have to give her the "britch please" look!
So all in all, regardless of the circumstances people are responsible for there own actions. Hope that helps you out there Possum!!!
