on the Stud remark... If a guy gets around nowadays, like quite a bit, he is considered a "man-*****". Atleast thats how my generation sees it, and I kinda have to agree. If you have slept with 12 different girls in one year, you're getting pretty sleezy. If a girl does the same but with guys, I'm sorry, but I wouldn't touch that with a 15ft pole with a condom on it.
I think the picture thing is absurd. Everyone has a past, you can't make their past just disappear. I think these two have some growing up to do. To be honest inkjunkie, it sounds like a situation I am all too familiar with, I'd keep my nose out of it and let them screw their own lives up, you can keep trying to fix it and make it better, but all you are gonna do is bring this drama mama further into your life and make your own life hell. Trust me on this. She's a big girl now, let her make her own decisions, even if they aren't the right ones, they are hers to make. Me and my sisters have been struggling with my father trying to get him to make the right choices but he won't listen and the further we get involved, the further my psycho step-mom fights what we are trying to do. My father has an inflamed heart which means that plaque will build up on his valves in his heart if he doesn't take care of himself and change his diet and lifestyle of drinking and smoking. But he simply refuses because his wife says its okay and continues to feed him deep fried foods, cheese, eggs, and encourages him to keep on drinking like a fish and driving around. We have tried even sitting him down at a table with all his family members that love him dearly but he won't listen and she just gets pissed and calls us and tells us how we need to quit ruining their lives together and that how me and my sisters as his children are screwing his life up and we are the worst children one can ask for.
No offense meant to you inkjunkie, I know you are a good and caring guy and your heart is in the right place which is absolutely fantastic, but in this situation, you probably aren't gonna change anything. If its been this way for 30 years, its gonna be hard to change it without some life changing near death epiphany.:angry7:
