Kevin, this boy has a father. The wayward hubby. He has been raised by him. I hope "blood" does not mean that much. I certainly know it would hurt my adopted cousin to know that she is different b/c she is not blood relatives....
june72, I wasn't saying he didn't have a father. Thats why I said he needs a strong father figure in his life. The current father has left. All I was saying is that it is unfortunate that his own dad has ceased to take responsibility as a father as well. Her son has nobody to turn to right now that can guide him and be the strong father he needs.
But you know, now that I think about it. There are programs of men who are mentors to young men as father figures. It would take a little research, but I remember seeing something like that a long time ago. I will have to look into it. If I remember correctly, it was a really great program.
Kevin
