Stopped visiting home for awhile, did too much shit, got into too many bad situations. Mom called him and he answered, intoxicated, spilling the proverbial beans about what happened to him. She did what any good mom does and wire transferred him some money, told him to hold his chin up, and come visit her.
He’s by no means clean and has stuck with the same job for the last 10 years, but he keeps in close contact with his mom and pulled his shit together enough to not be a wolfy mess all the time. Nothing has really been all that exciting since.
