Insincere Empathy

I don't like it any more than you do...

Who is to say if you are being maliciously obtuse or strategically ignorant. Some people perpetually live in a constant state of surprise that facts exist. But I am not convinced that is always the case when someone says:

• ​I had no idea?
• Tell me about it, it's crazy?
• I don't like it anymore than you do.

Whaaaaat?
-Foreign man in a foreign land

Of course! That custom makes total sense in the country you come from.  I'm just saying that in America:

• respected family members have an ethical obligation to the next generation
• ​incorrigible family members give away their children's future to old people
• ...

Civilization depends on everyone agreeing to "politely" believe in the same lie.

I just wanted to check-in to see if things have gotten better since:

1. the last time you visited family in Michigan? Christmas 2016 and ongoing Saginaw, Michigan campaign to use family professionals that are medicating your children at the direction of our local judge to brainwash these children from ever returning to their childhood home in Baltimore Maryland.

2005 ​- Michigan

Started a family with a puppy, then kids, and retired grandparents within 10 minutes of our house. Growing family needed two parent income but unable to secure family childcare provider (Rocco and Mia's retired grandparents). I began my journey as an entrepreneur so that I could work multiple jobs (securing the two parent income) so that my wife could raise the kids without the support of my retired parents.

It's Complicated

Mia is 5 and Rocco is 6
​It started when I received a phone call that the children would not be coming back from Higgins lake for unspecified reason. I had to wait hours to find out that this was not related to a boating accident.

Maryland is Awesome!

2016 - It's Over

​Mia is 8 and Rocco is 10
​It was going to be another family Christmas - Random Saginaw, MI Therapist. But then it wasn't and that was the last time I would spend a holiday with my children.
