You and I know how many dudes swore up and down they were going to act right and be dads and all when they left. A month,2,3 and then almost all came back. We are the lucky ones man. We understood that we deserve more from ourselves as do the ones who love us. Great job bro!! Continued success my friend and god bless!!

PS other people may not understand and so you will deal with prejudice and stigma. Being prepared for that and continuing to love and respect yourself anyway is the best revenge and what is most likely to keep you safe I know on a healthy path. By doing so you're educating the world but even if nobody gets it, respecting yourself is the key to everything including basic hope that things can be better. This man the living proof of that. He totally knows his worth it doesn't have to be arrogant or aggressive to show it.

It’s unfortunate but the challenge of employment for convicts is that a high percentage reoffend, inclding many on new employers or even their families. Most of society believes in second chances, especially for someone who has paid their societal debt for property type crimes, but the water gets muddy when it comes to serious and violent crime. Regardless, excellent job on your commitment to succedding and a better life. It’s not easy but so rewarding, especially when you did it on your own. Congrats.
