The Dirty Laundry.

October 23, 2008

He shows up every Tuesday morning to pick up Benjamin. I gave up asking him about the massive credit card debt of his I had to assume or asking him to help out with Benjamin’s medical bills long ago. Instead I just brief him on Benjamin’s little happenings of the week – he doesn’t know [...]
