    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Pericles is a terrible person. But somehow the fact that you all "love" that he abuses your great nephew for the crime of being trans isn't really all that surprising.

    I guess I was on the right track...

    "Pericles, following Athenian custom, was first married to one of his closest relatives, with whom he had two sons, Paralus and Xanthippus"

    Actually, Pericles is an awesome person. Alex loves him and loves being around him. Conversely, if you were to label someone a "terrible" person, it would be Alex's biological father, who didn't seem to have time nor concern for Alex.

    Probably also worth noting that Pericles and his kids died of the plague.

    Logically, more than one person can be terrible. We don't have to choose here!

    I'm results-driven.

    Well, get back to us with the results in 20 or so years. Abuse by parents and stepparents often has long-term effects, the metric isn't just "is the child smiling right now?"

    I don't need a fancy car, a fat bank account, rich friends, a rich house or a rich income. Nope, all I need is my wife, family and church. Believe me I'm happy beyond my wildest dreams with just that. Of course, having those wealthy things helps but not necessary.

    You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

    I once knew an ambulance driver who was operated on to change from a woman to a man. Nicest guy you ever met. Wanted to join the Army but Trump said no. I haven't seen him in quite a while. I'll bet he finally was able to achieve his dream and join the Army under Biden.

    Why does that strangely remind me of this song?

    Actually, Alex is taking to the construction/demo tasks under the tutelage of Pericles. I'll put it to you this way, they're "bonding" miraculously....

    The deal is, Pericles has taken Alex under his wing. Sure there are a few reasonable house rules, accountability, and all that, but Alex still has a choice: He can stay put....or go back and live with his Dad (who, BTW, is celebrating, even pushing the trans lifestyle on Alex). Thus far, Alex has chosen to live with Pericles and his mother. He's craved a relationship with his father. He's actually getting one with Pericles. Go figure.

    Good ...when all is said and done the kid will be a trans with muscles and a tool belt....females also work in the construction field...in the meantime we should clearly explain the difference between the OT section and Facebook...not sure some can separate the two very well. I seriously doubt Alex dad is "pushing" trans culture on a teenager...teens rebel against mom and dad pretty often....it could be that rather than looking up to ABM's manly man...there's quite another attraction at play here. I've heard only Mike Pence can do conversions like you're wishing for...pray the gay away or whatever he does.I just hope for the kid's sake that joy can be found in life beyond the judgements of the relatives

    We all want the very best for Alex and will support his decision. That said, his mother and Pericles are throwing opportunities his way for him to consider. The whole construction demo thing was Pericles' idea. This is the Seattle home Alex would/will be living in, so there's a personal investment/satisfaction in that regard. I don't make suggestions as it relates to Alex, other than the idea of taking the kid camping. That's not really feasible at this point, though, as school starts soon and we're in Nashville.
