Actually he murdered himself, scissoris of the liver, plus he was like my brother, if he could get high off it he'd try it. He hid it rather well, I was rather naive as I never had friends who did hard drugs. It wasn't until I brought it up to my counselor at the time that I thought it odd I'd often wake up at night and he'd be the bathroom for long periods of time. She said that was often a place drug addicts use to hide what they were up to. That threw me for a loop. I thought maybe he was going in there trying to hide his drinking as it started to become a contentious issue between him and I when having a couple beers after work started being a six pack, so forth and so on to hard liquor use. Plus he'd never shut up when he got to drinking. Some people drinking it becomes like the energizer bunny to them, they keep going and going...lol. At first we both had the same shift schedules then I ended up at a job working days and he was working nights so I didn't have time for that crap. I have no sympathy for him, even towards the end he couldn't find himself to be honorable to me spending the last few months of his life getting out of paying me his lousy fifty bucks a month towards the twenty five thousand he still owed in child support. Sometimes I ponder if I shouldn't give him some credence for the fact it was his guilt (for wrecking part of my life, which he did finally apologized for) that drove him to work at times to pay his support but then there were other times I could describe some wild antics I used to track him down and forced him to live up to his obligation. Which as you know being Flint even if I did track him down the cops would just ask if he was committing murder at the moment, when I'd reply no they'd say they weren't coming. So I often have to get a state rep, senator or someone in the governors office to get the state police to get him, they'd either line it up county to county (Genesee county would hand him off to Ingham county who'd hand him off to Kent County) to bring him back here or chain him to a chair at the police department until the friend of the court could go fetch him. Another time one of the senators got the state's attorney general to send me a letter they'd be taking over my case, once I signed the papers it was out of my hands and he would go to prison. They want you to sign so you understand if they go to prison there'll still be no support nor will it accumulate while they are in there. The way I figured it what was the use of allowing it to accumulate, it wasn't like I was getting it anyway, thirty three thousand in accumulation should be good enough, time to let him accumulate some time behind bars. I called him up and read him the part it was out of my hands and he was going to prison...he couldn't start paying it fast enough. lol. Funny how that works. It wasn't even like it was a huge burden, at least in my opinion, for two kids it was like forty five dollars a week. I am sure he was spending more than that on alcohol and drugs every week.
