oh, uh, hi there. i'm awake. yes.

Didn't notice this thread again. Guess it got pushed back quicker than I check.

Thank you for the final questions, greentea.
I'll post a more in depth response later, when I have more time.

thanks for your patience.

Acacia, I'd like to thank you very much indeed for opening your heart and mind to us on this interview.
Greentea, thank you very much for the opportunity to write and share what I think with the larger WP community. I think this has been helpful for everyone involved.

Before we finish, I'd like to ask you to:
1. Answer a question that I haven't asked.
I've tried to think of something profound to ask myself, but I am having a hard time. Hence... You have not asked me what my favorite mountain range is. To which I would respond: The Appalachian Mountains. Specifically the Smoky Mountain National Park area of Tennessee and North Carolina. There is magic in that place, and the several times I've been there have been very special to me.

2. Give a word of advice to 18-year old Acacia
Go see an ASD specialist, quit doing drugs, apply to colleges, get enough sleep, learn more about computers, ditch your codependent addict "friends", exercise and eat healthy, and quit trying to fulfill your needs and acheive emotional security through other people. You have all the resources. Capitalize on them.

3. Ask 78-year old Acacia for advice on something, and have him answer you.
27-year-old me: "How can I make peace with my son's mother, rectify our living situation, continue to raise my son the best way I can, and pursue an independent life?"

78-year-old me: "As much fear and indecision as you are experiencing over this issue, it will be the most positive change that you can make at this stage in your life. You, your son, and his mother will all be happier if you are living the lives you want to. Any difficulties you encounter on the way there can be seen as the price you pay to invest in your collective future. You will not starve, you will not be homeless, you will not lose control. Communicate your needs as best you can, and get the support of family, whatever they are able to offer. Things will make sense on the other side of this. Just try to be aware of all the feelings involved, and don't get lost in fantasies or delusions. Your realizations now, and the change they are bringing are just the beginning of a gigantic step forward. Keep going.


Thanks again, all :)
