Growing up sucks, especially when you have someone that is looking to you as their ONLY hope when all odds are stacked against them.

I'm not perfect. I'm not the best example of how to live.

Saddly I have become the best example for someone, which means if I want his future to be better than mine was (witch I very much do), I have to change some things about myself.

I hope I can be atleast half the man I hope he becomes.

cheers man .!!!!

It is called responsibility/maturity/accountability. And yes, indeed, it DOES suck...big time!!!

I tell you, though, with the attitude you have...that young man is blessed to have you in his life.

I'm very proud you will be holding yourself to a higher standard. You are an inspiration!

Like the attitude!

And you CAN do it! You are already on a great foot! Knowing you are that example and wanting to be the best example you can be! So no matter what you think of yourself, you'll portray the "best" you have to offer...so thats SUPER-COOL!

Hats off to you for that!

im sure you will show him right from wrong.!!!!

every day for six years i have had to show my girl right from wrong. the other day she said daddy you are tuff on me but fair.you are teaching me well.hummmmmmmmm will it be the same at 13

awsome

i lost my son 2 yrs ago but he always told me "dad u were tuff on me cause i know u loved me " .!!!!!

it is well worth it
yesterday i read my daughter's myspace page
she wrote about me
she wrote how hard it was to leave me because i am
the only one who supports her in anything she does, even if it is wrong
she wrote how awesome she thought i was and how she can only hope to grow up to be 1/2 the person i am
8 years ago i thought i was the worse mom in the world
today i know different
you do the best you can
one day not only will you realize it-- they will also

Yes..........and 14,15,16,17,18........ect!!!!!!!

cheers.!!!!!

The thing is this child isn't even mine, but I love him as if he was my own son already, I want him to have a realationship with his father. I want him to decide for him self what his father is.

But, I also know I am the closest thing he has to go by as to what a REAL man is.

I love this child and want him to be better than me and his parents.

I know I have to change a few things about myself to tech him.

These things I have to change though, are things I was hoping I could change later, when I was ready but, I have to change them now, I'm not really ready for the change, but I have to make it, not for myself, but for this child I love so dearly.


I apperciate the posts.
