I was attracted to Smokey because he was as broken as I was. We both came from very troubled homes. In his case, he was adopted but never told about it until he was 13. I met him around the time he learned of this adoption.

We understood each other's pain in terms of abandonment.

Problem was...Smokey coped with his problems with substances and running away. I became more entrenched in him...looking for safety...he ran further.
