Hi
As I am sure you can remember I posted a thread a while back called “Ultra strict parents” detailing serious problems a M8 was having at home.
Well I am happy to say that their was a good outcome as several people went to his houser today to provide “back up” as he state he wished to walk out and stay with someone else.
His parents had no choice but to let him as their was plenty of us their to provide support.
The person in question is now staying with one of his old school friends who agreed to put him up while he gets things sorted out.
Also since he wants to work on he market stalls I will let him help me out on Mondays and give him a few quid to keep which will be good for him as his parents made him give them all his cash even 10p change from things.
Also we gonna take him out tomorrow night to let him have some fun.
Thanks for the good advice from Flood and several others it was helpful 🙂

He was with us for a while tonight and he made an comment that to him was so innocent but had me and several others ****ing ourselves laughing
How do I get the stamina to last all night
He was talking about singing but after I explained things to him he worked out why everyone was finding it all so funny.
Anyway he is definitely changing fast and was tonight joining in all the fun singing away on stage but I will ahve to stop teaching him how to do it or he well get as good as me because he has loads of ability but he needs to practice and build his voice up.

Then you can all give yourselves a pat on the back, yeah?:)

Yeah not trying to get big headed but we have done a good thing.
About 8-10 people involved not just me and they all feel very happy with things so far.

As long as there is someone there for him when he needs them, should be alright.
You feeling good about it – helping a friend, I mean?

Well I saw him today first time for 6 days and he seems to be coming out of his shell.
Its like his confidence is going up and he feels like he has some freedom and choice in his life not the crap he was used to.
But their are still plenty of times when he needs support and their is a long way to go.
But so far so good 🙂

Nice to hear things are working out for the young lad

Well it was a good night again tonight,
Think my M8 was a bit nervous last night but he seemed to be enjoying himself once he was their a while.
Still long term he will need counseling or something but he needs to decode when he wants to do all that.

Its alright – have a good evening.
Don’t do anything we wouldn’t – or that you might be embarrassed to tell us about!;)

Dont misunderstand me flood I would never do that to him.
Its just he thought of it thats funny.
His parents have stated that “he left so thats it he is never anything to do with us ever again”
How pathetic
By: Flood - 3rd April 2004 at 13:42
Would prove his parents right about you though!

That could be a right laugh :p
By: Arthur - 3rd April 2004 at 09:18
And now you guys are going to get him a call-girl, or take him on a trip to Amsterdam right?
By: andrewman - 3rd April 2004 at 01:31
Maybe your right flood but how far do you go when forcing someone to enjoy themselves.
Theirs no Karaoke 2morrow night well not where we will be going anyway their was one we went to a few times on a statuary but I got banned for “not giving anyone else chance to win”
Well I know you have to be fair but baning me cause I am a good singer its a bloody disgrace what next anyone good at playing footie banned from the pub team.
Still I bet we will have a good sing song 2morrrow night once it gets past 12 and theirs just a few of us left.
Will let you know how 2morrow goes.

Maybe I should point out that it might be best not to get him drunk – if he wakes up with a monster hangover, feeling extremely sorry for himself… Bad news. There can be little worse than feeling that you are on your own, feeling sick, and the knowledge that you have left your family behind…(apparently one of the major reasons that young military personel under training drink so heavily when they get the opportunity…)
Make him – force him – to enjoy himself though; make him laugh, take him to kareoke if you must (I hate all that singing in public when you can’t sing stuff – but I watched someone actually come out of herself and forget about being dumped by being forced to sing Born To Be Wild and My Way! Still couldn’t sing though…) but get him to forget about things.
Keep us informed, if it is not to much trouble.

Never new my p/m box was full so thanks for pointing that out.
Yeah I think my M8 is gonna need a lot of help as he is very “innocent” if you get my point.
Last Sunday when he went out with some of us he needed to have a lot of things explained to him as i don’t think he had ever been inside a pub before.
Still 2morrow night should do him good since all we gonna do is spend a whole night in the pub just playing pool and watching footie.

Hope it all works out, but he will need lots of support so he will probably be like a baby for a while – by which I mean he’ll need lots of looking after, attention, and company; near enough a full time job for you all.
Andrew – got your message but your mailbox is full. I put what I would have sent above anyway!
