Thank you everyone.

As i get farther and farther away from his dad(relationship wise) I think about how I never want him to be like that, and how sad and awful it is that his dad doesn't have the ability to care like I do.

So i go forward thinking that he is like a shiny new chalkboard - anything can be put down on it that you want, which means he can be a kind, caring, loving individual if I only remember to be one myself.

Healing for him, and healing for me.
