any relationship is wothwhile. I never criticise any of my step family in Australia, never have. Some turned from me when I dicorced their patriach, other have clung to me ot drawn closer. I try really hard to accept who they are and where they are and to encourage them to be themselves whether it is my ideal or not...well none of it is illegal or evil.
I hardly ever see them of course but FB is a great place to meet.I think that you are really on the right path with this young guy. He obviously needs love and acceptance and someone to listen to him and not advise.

What an apt description of the family dynamic.
You've put your finger on the workings and cross-purposes, the emotional strings that pull everyone in odd directions. And the key - just listen. Wonderful to find that light at the end of the tunnel, and to be an ally when you "didn't do much." If you ever write about the family dynamic - a scene will build itself for you.

Times change Ciel. People soon forget or cannot be bothered to remember. Probably taking more on face value these days for the youngsters. I am sure Charlie is an attraction.
