The return of Confessions - the confessional is open

[GonzoStyle]

I'm worried about my cousins son. My cousin is a good guy and all but a bad parent. He would rather go out than spend time with his own son. The kids 5 years old and barely knows his dad.

I've been spending more time with him lately and the kids awesome. I always thought he was a bit slow but he's far from it. I've been teaching him to read and he's reading on his own now. He's also fascinated by history, I tell him stories and he sits there with his eyes wide open, soaking up everything I tell him. He's learned more in 8 months with me than 5 years with his dad, it saddens me.

He's talked of giving the kid up, I can't take care of myself let alone a child. But to see a kid like this end up in a foster home just ain't right. He's smart, loveable and a kind soul. He's a kid and does things that all kids do but he learns from his mistakes when you explain things to him. He listens when you tell him right and wrong.
