I want to vent but now that I have the opportunity to, it seems as though it would be pointless... Venting, I have been doing to myself for the last four to six years and it has not made a difference. I realize after all these years that I want something out of my SS that he will not be; a self motivated, congenial, responsible, accountable, self sufficient adult. Looking unfortunately at BOTH biological parents, it is not going to happen. "The apple didn't fall far from the tree", and what has fallen is rotten generationally.
