The rehab is mostly good memories of promise, hope along with hard work and tears. Coming home was a lot of fear and discontent. My parents were into a lot of disagreement so I spent my days on the streets rolling around with my Walkman looking for friends. This method actually got me a lot of services at the time because I was noticed. My parents divorced soon after as well. I tried moving in with my mother and all she did was cry and read the bible. I called my dad to ask to come home and he told me a famous line "boy if you come back all I can offer you is a little food, water and heat and Im leaving at 2pm for work". The short end to a long story is I came back.
