Part 1

(You can fool yourself, but not us) Part 1 of 2

Bash it's been a year and a half since we sent PJ to that place, the first six months was really hard on our family, I didn't tell you that Pierre started sleeping in another room, I didn't know if our marriage could survive, but things are better now, and as far as Chandler I had to remind Pie we have another son that needs him. And I have another brother that I need who won't talk to me.

James, you guys seemed okay the last time I saw you, but you guys got through it and give it sometime, Dyland will start talking to you again, you and Pierre are on the right track again, and he's got things together with Chandler.

 I know Bash, but it hurts that Dyland's still not talking to me and he thinks it was wrong for me to send PJ to that place, he'll talk to Pierre and Chandler but not me. Bash told me like he said just give that some time, he said he'll call me tomorrow tell the family hi for him, I told him I will, and I hung up.

Pie came into my study, he asked me did I have a good talk with Sebastian, I told him yes, my brother tried to make me feel better about Dyland, Pie said he keeps telling Dyland I did what I thought was right for PJ. I asked him does he still think I did the right thing.

James, at first, you know I didn't, but after really thinking about it, you did the right thing for our son, he really scared me when he said he'd kill all of us, it took me some time to let that sink in, our son needed help. I'm going to see him this afternoon.

 Pie every time you go and see PJ, you come home upset for the way he talks to you, maybe you should stay away for a while, maybe PJ will think about how he treats you.

James! he's our son I won't give up on him, James said neither will he that's why he sent him to West Haven, he didn't want PJ to go to prison, think what would've happened to him in there, he could be raped or get into drugs, there's more drugs in prison than on the streets. I asked him what's going to happen to PJ once he gets out, will he go to jail for the things he's done. James said the law doesn't know about PJ's crimes, grandfather took care of that, I asked James will he go with me today; James said the last time he went PJ told him he didn't ever want to see him again he still threatens to kill him. I told him maybe PJ has changed, James said did I really think so or is it just wishful thinking, I kissed him and said I'll let him know what PJ says about seeing him and I left.

Pie left and I got out my notebook and wrote to PJ, to my son never forget that I love you, life is filled with hard times and good times, learn from them, be the man I know you can. I sent you to that place because I knew you needed help, it hurt me to have to do that, but I didn't want you going to jail and if you receive the treatment you need, you'll be home soon, love your dad, James.

I closed my notebook, Liz came into the study and said she sees that I'm writing in that notebook again, why don't I send those letters to PJ. I told her, so, she has been reading my letters, she said of course she has, if I look through the notebook, I'll see that some of the letters were taped back in, she sent them to PJ, but they all came back saying return to sender. She even had her name on the envelope and PJ still sent them back, she ain't did nothing to her baby PJ and he won't even read her letters, Liz started crying.

I told her right now that's not our PJ, he has some issues to deal with once he takes the treatment he'll come back to us, she said she's been praying for our family, the doorbell rang, Liz wiped her tears and went and answered the door.

 I texted Chandler, I told him he's not just a part of my world he and his brother and dad Pierre are my everything, remember keep your head up and I'm proud of him for being the man he is.

He responded back, thanks dad and he loves me, he'll see me later, I smiled I wish I could smile thinking about PJ right now. Liz came back and said that woman Savannah is here, I asked her did she tell her that Pierre left, she said she told her, and she wants to see me, before I could say anything Savannah walked into the room. Liz said she'll be close by in case I want her to throw Savannah out, Savannah said not today devil woman, Liz said she's the devil and she left the room.
