Maybe it's just me but after awhile the "poor me" attitude starts to wear on me. Yes, I understand he had a horrible mother that did unimaginable things. But even in foster care nothing was ever Davids fault. For example David was stealing toys from a store. He went in to steal a toy for another boy, only to find out afterwards he was set up, the other boy's father was a manager at the store. So we were all suppose to feel bad for David that the boy set him up like that. What about David being a grown up now realizing he was stealing & admitting it was wrong? He always had an excuse for doing something wrong, it's never his fault. And I just get the impression as an adult David still feels this way.
