I hated that my parents had no trust in me… It was my fault that they didn’t believe in my decisions.
I had never given them any reason to suppose I would ever be anything but a screw up, from the time I was old enough to suppose I could make my own decisions, I had made mistakes.
I was using drugs when I was in my teens, plus by the time I was sixteen, I had a child that my parents were raising, however when I turned twenty-5, my family was wondering how long I would be out of jail before going back, plus not believing a word I said. I knew I had to make a change, plus the first thing I had to do is go back to university. I had to get my GED before I could take up a trade. I was in jail again when I completed my GED, plus I called my parents the week before I was released. I also told them where I was going to be living plus that I was going to heating and A/C university, but they tried their best to talk myself and others out of going to heating and A/C university. They were distraught that if there was any upset in class; I would go back to drugs plus jail. I made up my mind that it was time to be a productive man plus start being a real Mom plus not a rookie on the iphone. I don’t know who was more surprised when I got my heating and A/C certification; my mom plus Mom, or my daughter… My child was easily proud of myself and others for being an actual heating and A/C specialist.
