Brother, I understand where your advice is coming from, and I just see it differently. I love my sons, and I want them to have the best lives possible. That being said by sitting on the sidelines in my comfort I am doing them a disservice.
I took an oath, several times in fact. It had no end date, no time of completion. I don't know what else to do, all of my other options seem to be one step too far, violent or wrong. Things need to change and if one person doesn't start the ball rolling they will only get worse.
