My parents probably enabled me to a point... More my mom than my dad. My dad wanted to kick me out when I was 18. My parents are still married.. I'm an only child. When I was 32 I was a strung out loser sleeping in my car... when I slept. Went from that to sleeping on my parents patio until I got a job. That was my rock bottom. Life was a roller coaster when I was in my 20's.. on and off drugs.. I usually worked.. had my own place. If I screwed that off.. I'd move back in with mommy and daddy.. I always had a car.. usually something cool. I started doing drugs when I was 16-17. I dropped out of high school. My parents gave me a choice.. go to school.. get a job.. or get out.. I got a job at Burger King when I was 16. After 18 I worked at several tire stores 1st as a tire buster .. then a salesman. I got my **** together when I was 32.. I am now 53 and have a very successful automotive business that I built from nothing. ... Enough of the soapbox..
