NeighboursI used to live next door to a pair of elderly naturists, only finding out about their hobby when they bade me a cheerful, saggy 'Hello' while I was 25 feet up a ladder repairing the chimney. Luckily, a bush broke my fall, but the memory of a fat, naked man in an ill-fitting wig will live with me forever.

No need to apologise, it's not your faultThe system is incredibly flawed from so many angles.
The society that raises people like him, the environment that protects the wrong things in a flawed sense of doing right.
The people who just want to help both those caught in that loop and those who are affected by it...but can't because of the previously mentioned.
Respect to you for still being there trying to be part of the solution :)
I'm caught in a similarly hopeless kind of environment with my job as a support worker with learning disabilities and I just want out (though not exclusively because of the job itself it has to be said!). I did almost get a role with the parole service a few months back, and decided against another working with yoofs that dint get the right start in life, innit, but a short time living above Aaron has slammed it home that it wouldn't have been a good direction for me.

What a......lovely thing to say. Thanks : )
I get very opinionated about such things and it rarely ends well. So I'll stop now.
But nuff respec' to you also. That's not an easy job you've got there. And I bet people say "But it must be so REWARDING"... And I bet it can be. But quite often it's just Not Quite Enough.
