Some people just age well! Having said that, I didn't see it, so not sure if he really IS looking tasty, or if you have just lost the plot! :rotfl:

I am a wee bit sad tonight. My cousin was found dead today in a chair...(sorry to be a bit maudlin). He was an addict and was a gorgeous little boy a cheekie teenager and a drug addled adult. Never really worked. It was bound to happen tbh but he was younger than me and I Know my auntie held out hopes that he would turn his life around and give her grandchildren one day. It was not to be unfortunately.....I would hate to be a mother in that situation.

Sally, as a mother of four I can say I don't favour any of my children. They think differently though and it can be like walking a tightrope in an effort to come across as not favouring any one of them.

That's interesting actually Beanie. I wonder how people percieve my relationship with the kids.

Natasha is affectionate and cuddlesome, likes to sit on my knee, hold my hand, give kisses and cuddles.

Ryan doesn't - it makes him a bit uncomfortable. He will give quick cuddles, but doesn't like to be touched unless he initiates it.

So outwardly, it probably appears to people I favour Natasha, but I love them both equally. I just tailor my behaviour to what each of them needs from me.

DD1 was at uni when OH and I split but DD2 was at home. It bought us really close obviously. DD1 still holds on to the thought that her dad will turn out good but DD2 won't give him the time of day if she doesn't have to.
Realy changed the dynamics in our family.

Sammy that is so awful and you and your whole family must be very sad. Drugs are the worst thing to be invented/introduced IYSWIM and do horrible things to generally lovely people. One of my school friends got caught up with heroine and died when we were 22, I still think of her and what she might be doing had she not got in with the wrong people. He is in a better place and at peace with the world...probably far happier than having to deal with the day to day trauma of it all.

Hugs Sammy.
Horrible thing to happen.
