and hope that his path follows yours. i want to think there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

this didnt just start, but i think it began w a long standing depression. he is a trauma survivor as well. he was raped by a boy on the block at 10. he only told me this 6 months ago.

he dropped out of school at 16, and hasnt really done much since. he has chased a few interests, and taken some classes, but hasnt really worked. or done much around here. among the many opportunities he has ignored is working w me at my farm.

i have been around bipolars, as well as borderlines (like his sister and possibly his father) and this is much, much worse. he is dangerous.
