My SO’s brother suffered a fatal heart attack four months ago, now his mixed-up, idiot son committed suicide in jail.
We’re not as broken up about this. The boy was a product of teenage sex, the victim of a pedophile, taken to a hooker–apparently in a misguided attempt to “straighten him out”–shortly after the pedophile incident. He subsequently developed a filty mouth and would use it every chance he got, and even tried fighting with his aunt. He was allowed to do pot with his dad and & stepmom. After graduating high school, he moved out of their place and in with his bio mom, who caught him stealing money, a few hundred $ all told. She had him arrested and thrown in jail. Now he’s gone.
What a sad end to a sad life.
So…I take it you’re in charge of the eulogy?
Adolescence is the most difficult time in most people’s lives. With that and the abuse, then the loss of his father, the kid must have been in deep turmoil. I’m sorry for your loss and sad to ponder what this young man must have suffered through.
It is too bad someone didn’t understand the difference between a hooker and a psychiatrist?
I wish you and your SO the best.
Which is, of course, that no one ever fantasizes that his psychiatrist will tell him he’s such a good conversationalist he won’t be charged for his sessions.
Yeah, whoever came up with that idea sounds like the real idiot here.
Poor kid never really had a chance. 
Thanks but that’s not really necessary in this case. 
That would have been his somewhat homophobic father.
And you’re happy he’s dead because he swore and stole a few bucks? Tough crowd at the Skywatcher place. I hope you two don’t have children.
When did he say he’s happy? He said he’s “not as broken up”, but that’s a pretty far cry from “happy”.
Cool yer jets, Kal. We, well my SO more than me, were devestated by the death of Billy Ray (the father). Neither of us is happy that Mike (the 21-or-so son) is no longer with us but his passing doesn’t affect us as much, as fachverwirrt noted. We had just spent Thanksgiving with Billy Ray, his wife, and their youngest and had made plans to spend each Christmas with them but we hadn’t seen Mike in about three years.
When someone says “no need for condolences” and posts a smiley face, I took that as a “happy.”
That’s mainly me coping with all the crap that’s been happening in our lives lately.
I wish I knew you in RL. I bet your a hoot to hang out with. Nothing gets by you and you have the guts to speak your mind. 
That explains a lot, I was beginning to wonder if I should apologize for offering condolences. :smack:
I’m glad you said that. It sounded like you thought it was his fault he was raped and abused all his life. Much of it at the hand of the father you’re mourning.
Sorry 'bout that.
Hanging oneself is a terrible way to go but at least he’s no longer in pain of any sort.
Let him be an example of why most children shouldn’t try to raise children.
Okay, this situation is getting weird.
We heard last night that he had been arrested and was facing 2-3 years in jail. Now the story is he hanged himself in the woods behind his bio-mom’s house. I know bio-mom never liked him being in contact with the other side of the family; I’m starting to wonder if this could be her sick way of keeping him to herself.
