Thanks, Mally! Yep, it seem life never stays good for long for Adam. He keeps getting kicked in the gut, but so far remains unbeaten
-
I'm with you, Jay. But she didn't see what her husband did to Adam as abuse, only an attempt to save him. Because he refused to be saved he is in effect 'dead' to her, although very much alive, while her husband is indeed dead - something she doesn't want to accept.
-
Thanks Flesco. An interesting take on the Ma Pa relationship. You could be right as Adam was always more likely to blame his father as he was the one who carried out the beatings. Does Adam want to turn the funeral into a media circus? Another interesting thought.
-
Thanks Geron. You've summed up both major issues very neatly.
-
True - and for her that makes her reaction logical.
-
I'm sure wanting to know more about what did happen to A&T must have helped with the turnout, but the completed forms indicates an actual interest. Adam's parents - or their church - seems to be one of those that follow only certain things in the bible.
-
Very sorry about what happened to you CG. At least Adam now has a family to love and be loved by.
-
I hadn't checked on that, but I can definitely believe it has happened.
-
Thanks Glennish. You're evil about not changing their wills but it would be poetic justice. Actually, they are probably the sort who wouldn't make a will. Somehow I don't think the police officer would be welcomed either.
-
Adam's father apparently did - once at least

Nice one droughtquake That would sure swell the congregation!
-
I think she hopes that what she has said in the note may make him decide not to come. Am also of the view that she wouldn't want the service marred by a scene, hence the note now in the hope he'll either not come or if he does, stay clear of her. Have no idea about the legal situation, but I guess the church could refuse him admission. Then though there is the possibility of a scene.
-
That's something Adam has discovered over the last couple of months - he feels he now has a 'real' family who accept him for what he is.
-
I can't add anything to that summary of Adam's birth mother. Thanks for it.
-
I'm afraid he really doesn't have a mother now or a father in terms of those who raised him. He held out his hand, but it was knocked aside.
-
Straight to the point as usual, Wesley
-
I guess 'sad' would have been the nearest to how you feel after reading it, but I can understand the mixed feelings as I was trying to create a contrast.
-
Thanks. Pleased you thought so. Yes, Adam sure drew the short straw when it came to parents.
-
That sums her up neatly imo. Her beliefs are too deeply ingrained. And, thank you.

As we turned from the mail box to walk back home a thought struck me. I had, to use an old saying I'd heard somewhere, almost literally dodged a bullet today. There was no knowing when another one might come my way so I had to try and live my life to the full from now on. Troy and I were walking holding hands as we usually did these days. I let go of his and stopped walking. After a couple of paces he also stopped and turned to me with a puzzled expression on his face. “What's wrong?”

I'm confused - I thought it was Joel who was doing the texting??
-
Definitely keep it coming! I agree with AG - the Connor & Leon relationship is really good and Joel appears to be ideal to turn it into a triangle.
-
You sure had a binge read yesterday NimirRaj I believe you've put forward a good explanation of Adam's father's thinking. Adam is definitely very confused right now. I cannot see he will ever know for certain what happened, so will have to come to his own conclusion as to why is father was trying to get, or indeed got, the gun. Perhaps there was some good in the man and deep down he still held some love for his son?
-
I reckon that Adam's father's church put up the bail bond for him. That type of church would very likely hold to a 'spare the rod and spoil the child' philosophy and thus see nothing wrong in how he dealt with Adam, especially as he was trying to save him from the Devil of Homosexuality. Kyle is very mixed up and confused. Mike has been his leader and he a faithful follower. He can't yet accept Mike has betrayed him and still clings to what Mike has said about everything being Adam's fault.

I think Wyatt is in reserve in case of need But as for Diamond, I suspect he isn't totally stupid.
