That was the most poignant chapter yet, Vance! I was moved to tears in quite a few places.

Mark and Matt have that one thing in common, Still hoping for Danny to come back or for Matt to see his grave if it gets one.

Wow Vance, What a chapter.

 

I had tears in my eyes at the beginning, Tears of rage. That was his best christmas ever?!?!?? If I had my way, Matt's real parents would have a date with my shotgun.

Extreme levels of need to control others, inability to care or lack of knowledge of parental expectations, and substance abuse are where I have seen it the most in my career. I have probably only met 15 really evil people at most in my career ther rest fall under those sad but not really evil catagories or others not mentioned above.
