Roxann's son "Stephen (17)" was caught "stealing today". Well, I've been saying this "over and over" Both him and Jeremy (15) do when they find a chance.

I've caught them many more times, with no real proof. I mean by this, I see the stuff "missing" and both say "It wasn't ME, it was him". They know they play eachother too. They try to play us too. Think I don't know it. Mom is in "denial".. I know EXACTLY what happens.

Here is what happened today. First, background. I work with "Paul" now. He is a devout Christian, sells Christian crosses and such. Paul gave me this "hand made Christian cross" out of "horseshoe" nails. Took him like 2 hours.

Well Sebastian (my 18 mo son) wanted to play with it. I put it on him.. he isn't going far. I knew I could find it later.

So I went and looked for it later. Been missing about a week. Tonight, Jeremy went into his brothers room. Found it "hidden" up on the "ceiling" of his room. Obvious, meant to conceal. Stephen finally admitted to "stealing" it. His excuse.. I always meant to give it back. Well then "Stephen" (I say). Why did you take it, and hide it that long? It's a "Cross".. Of all things, don't steal a "cross"! Hell "Stephen" (I say).. You go to church every Sunday.. go to youth groups through the week.. "why steal a cross". Is that what they teach you in church?

He was quiet. He admitted taking it, had no answer...

So here is what I said. "Stephen"?? If you needed this so bad, I'm just going to give it to you. I had it on my neck.. I said "Stephen" it's yours. I took it off.. to give it to him...

GUILT is an "incredible thing". Stephen looked at me.. said "thank you Gary, but I cannot accept this". I said, why NOT? You "accepted" it before from me. When you stole it. When my buddie spend "hours" making it for me personally. He shut up.. and sat down. I knew he was "thinking about it", and I gave no problems.

I really know what it was. But hey, nobody listens to me. Stephen now has a girlfriend. His younger brothers ex. Problem causer she is. If you been reading my posts a long time, you'd understand this. When this girl was with "Jeremy" she "flat out lied" and said Jeremy tried to take "advances" on her. I KNEW that wasn't true. The reason.. I was "right here" when she said it happened.. a room away. They went into his room.. both laughing.. she came out and both brothers and her sat at the couch. Joking around and whatever. She "fucking lied", then her parents tried to get the cops involved. Hell, I'll be the "first" to say if Roxann's kids are doing wrong.. but the first to defend if I know a lie. This girl lied. NOBODY believed her. It went away. So now, "Stupid Stephen" wants her as his girlfriend.

I'm like.. you are "stupid" Stephen! You seen what she tried to do with "Jeremy", and now you want her? I know "WHY" you stole the cross Stephen!! I know. It's because, you know she isn't welcome here. You could give it to her, nobody would know. You sure aren't gonna be able to wear something "you stole from me" around me. Only other motive was to "sell" or give to her. I think, "He intended to give to her".

All can "THINK" what they want of me. My life has been around "drug dealers", "gangs", "prison guys", "gang guys", "dishonest vendors", "dishonest store owners" and others all my life. I KNOW the GAME, and I know it VERY well!! Really, not alot gets past me. Hate me for some things I write. I really don't care. If I "compromised me", writing what you wanted to hear.. I wouldn't be me.

Stephen was "caught". I used is as a way to "teach him". Would again in a second.

Take care all, Gary
