How do you manage o use such few words to convey so much?

Firstly, being so oblivious to the change in the relationship with Kim because of longing for Conor and drugs, it's one of those things where you pick one thing over another and end up with nothing. He loves Conor-everyone knows it, yet by doing the 'honourable' thing, albeit for selfish reason, has just alienated him from Conor, Kim and his children.

Don't mess around with somebody's family, of course they won't tell you where he is dummy. They've seen how much pain he's in because of you come on that's a no brainer.

He needs to get sober(ish) I think noth of their problems are needing crutches, Conor needs people to mold him into what they need he cannot be alone, he just drifts from person to person hoping they 'fix' him. Whilst with this fool obviously his main problem is drugs, but I also think that he's expecting Sierra ti be some kind of saviour for him and well she's a child, and any parent that tries to find a saviour in they kids ends up fucking them up.

lastly: while I have nothing against Kim, I don't like they way she did that, that said i don't blame her. One hopes this is his wake up call, but somehow I don't think so.

You think maybe you should have married Jenny, who's almost as fond of Conor as she is of her drugs, instead of Kim

Says so much about his state of mind right now.

It's magic.

Not really, I have absolutely no idea. I used to write very Tolkien-ish, over-angsty, wordy crap. And then a while I go, I said "fuck that", and now I can't be wordy if I try.

I'm glad that you picked up on so much of what's going on in the story, especially the fact that Kim is not so bad as she seems at first glance.

Thank you for reading this, and giving such a thorough comment.
