I prefer to think of them as admiring glances

Make it coerced toilet sex, and the girl some type of Asian, and you've got relationship cooking.

And if you're lucky, it will be female. And if you're very very lucky, you'll get AIDS.

Life on the outside isn't all Subutex and Valium. Sure, you get to have conventional sex, and the meals are considerably improved, but with being at large comes large responsibilities. As our kid can testify, his first month of comparative freedom having proven less than glorious.

Tethered by electronics and bail conditions to a curfew'd orbit of my mother's house, he redoubled his resolve to consume every depressant known to mankind. Seems some women are enamoured with the idea of a medically classified psychopath with all the vocal eloquence of a grand mal victim. The girl we last saw throwing up into a drain has now taken up semi-residence in my mother's house. She slips from bedroom to bathroom in a flash of towel and flesh and eats only toast and pills. She's 25, has 3 kids, of whom her mother has custody. Her ex-boyfriend is a childhood friend of our kid's who hanged himself last year. His family has begun a facebook hate campaign against our kid and her which will only end in bloodshed.

He cut himself up the other night. His arms look like a fucking skating rink. He's going into detox on Monday. Isn't love grand.

We actually did the 'noble' thing and helped out a young lad with a checkered history with the law, by the age of 18 he had already managed a stay in prison.We knew him well, and alot of his problems were due to his family being utterly dysfunctional, but he was and is a talented horse rider, but I digress, I agreed to have him in my own home on home detention since the other option was yet another prison sentence. So the probation service came and interviewed me and checked out my home to see if I would be a suitable environment and did a background check to see if I was a drug dealer or serial killer, apparently I'm not which is a relief.

They then hooked up the required equipment, but asked why I was doing this when he wasn't a relative, and asked if I knew what I was letting myself in for (which I didn't). Now this turned out to be a really bad fucking idea, the difference between knowing someone who needs something from you and is being 'nice' and a criminal who has got what he wants and doesn't give a fuck is quite remarkable, and for such a young person, underneath the exterior is an attitude you couldn't knock down with a sledge hammer, talk about a hardcase, the only thing that worked was a combination of me physically threatening to take him apart at the seams, which I was very tempted to do, and simply revoking my bond as his place of detention which would have meant immediate imprisonment.

There are some people that do NOT learn, that will bite the hand that feeds them (he constantly stole from us during the detention), and yet become angry when you finally reach the end of your tether and threaten to turf them out. My six year old daughter is better mannered than that hooligan was.

There is the argument that he is from a dysfunctional background but that is pure bollocks, some people dwell upon their past and go that is so unfair and do not move forward, whether the trauma is minor or major, others have the resiliency to bounce and carry on despite the circumstances, and whether his family wasn't nice or not, this kid would nick the gold fillings out of your head while you were sleeping and lie to your face, and he really enjoyed confrontation, I mean got off on it, the more of a wind up it was and the more emotion and shit storm there was the more he was into it, didn't give a fuck what he said, or who he said it to the more shocking the better.
So the long and the short of it is chalice, although I don't have a brother that is a self destructive loon, I have tried to help one, more fool me.
