HE LOOKS DISGUSTED AND PISSED OFF,

I CANT SAY I BLAME HIM FOR HIS ACTIONS,

AFTER TRYING TO COPE WITH HIS MOTHERS DRUG ADDICTION FOR SO LONG,

AND CONSTANTLY SUPPORTING HER.

JUST TO TURN AROUND AND CATCH HER IN THE BATHROOM, OR THE SMELL DRUGS IN THE AIR.

WITH NO RESPECT FOR HIS PRESENCE IN THE HOUSE.

HOPEFULLY SHE WILL DROP THE CHARGES, AND BEING THAT MARIO IS SUCH A LOVING SON

I PRAY THAT HE CAN FIND FORGIVENESS IN HIS HEART.
