Interlopers

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," an aphorism that unsolicited " helpful" action may have unforeseen Negative consequences, keeps playing in my head.From very diverse walks of life, I have innocent enough people who feel they optimistically might have the possible, illuminating solution to my ongoing conundrum and therefore insinuate themselves into the complex situation, as if their 3 or 4 day attempts (albeit sincere) will trump Al's and my 9 years of significant efforts for positive change. Their staunch belief in their efficacy is ludicrous but exacerbated by their many degrees( mental health professionals)or their legal expertise(judges and probation officers)or their adolescent advocacy( school system)or perhaps the most compassionate, but misguided gentle folk(church"assistance"). I am disappointed with all these segments of our society and their egregious behavior; they have proven themselves to be ineffectual, feckless, surrogate parents. Insert hugh sigh here!
