Question by Me: Need advice step son is coming to live with my husband and i after being in rehab for heroin addiction….?
My husband and i have been married for about 6 years he has a 13 year old son from a previous relationship. Well his son is coming to live with us he just got out of Rehab for Heroin addiction and his mom wants nothing to do with him at all. Well hubby and i have three son’s of our own 2.4,6 and so as you can imagine i am concerned for there safty and well being but at the same time i also believe in Redemption so to speak everyone makes mistakes and i understand that so i am trying not to hold any preconceived notions about the kid but at the same time never had to really be a step parent to this kid and everything. I mean honestly i am more worried about him relapsing into it because he got into it to begin with because his gf was into it heavily and then she introduced him to it and then she died because of in OD so he got into it heavily trying to block out his pain and everything. Sorry for blabbing i just don’t know what to do with the kid hubby thinks there isn’t a threat and that he will be fine and that we just need to love on him but at the same time i don’t want him here =/. Advice?

Question by John Lennon: Why does America have so much abundance, but poverty and crime too?
America is seemingly the most abundant nation on Earth, with some of the most proud corporations found anywhere. And it has been ranked the richest nation on Earth. But this is most certainly not a fair designation. Per capita, America lags behind other “developed” countries in terms of wealth and opportunity. Millions of children in the USA (of all races/backgrounds) have had dreams and goals and visions ranging from the reasonable to the more ambitious. The only thing really standing in their way is senseless and arbitrary “poverty”. This “poverty” is not even true poverty, but is a result of the choice to do drugs, sell drugs, booze it up, beat up the kids for no reason, and live for violence and death by whatever “parents” these children happen to be stuck with. But the real question is, what in our culture would lead these people to choose a life of crime? I believe in compassion, and there is a reason some of our prison programs (but not enough of them) have wisely chosen to focus on “rehabilitation” rather than punishment. What is the reason why this “culture of death” exists? Why do millions of people have to inherit nothing but trouble? And what is no secret is that minorities suffer the most in the land where “all men are created equal”. African Americans, immigrants, and gays are obvious examples. Even women in general are mistreated in too many cases. And the South is on average poorer than other regions.
