Subject: I do not know...

I just cannot get it out of my mind that my son stole my car while I was helpless to stop him. I would have much enjoyed putting the first few thousand miles on my newer used car. He stole that from me. I went to a car wash in the old neighborhood because I was near there this past Friday. They did a lousy $12.50 full service job. I wanted to get all the road dirt and smoke film cleaned out of my car. I spent, with my fractured pelvis, a half hour cleaning the front half of the car yesterday, went up to the car wash nearby my home, went to get two quarters out of the dash change dish to vacuum the car… yep, my son stole my change too and the few dollar bills in the compartment between the seats. I gave my son $40 for gas in the two weeks I was in the rehab center. I call my son about this. He firmly denied this… he said something like, “Change dish? In your car... with sarcastic tone… I didn’t steal any change.” I said okay, have a good night at work, and hung up. I called back and said that it was possible he did not take the change and was going to say that I might have used the change, but he said he was getting ready for work and hung up.

I am cosigner for his apartment. I am supposed to, now, after five months, be able to negate the consigning. I am going to have to do that this week. I kinda keep getting his car repaired because of this: no car, no job, no job, no rent, ya know. I said I would help him get his car fixed this time. I need to keep my word but after this I think he is on his own. About time. He has had about three or four years to save up money for another car. His car now that I gave him is near ten years old and without proper regular maintenance. His car services two users, him and his woman-friend. The car is just not up for that.

Once, after he got scared with my accident’s risk of death, boldly asked me what would happen to him if I die? I kept my dismay silent. I told him he is in my will.

I do not like knowing that I must be un-helpless to protect myself from my own son. Sucks big time! He has so much to unlearn and so much to learn. I have to remember his growth he has had and the good things that he has done for me. He did call and leave a message with my therapist enquiring into getting an intern therapist. Hope and pray that he follows through much more for him than me, for sure.

Well that is it.
RICHARD
