This hit home for me. My son, the middle one is 30, he's brilliant, hardworking, honest, loving and kind. He's worked, but he also has a problem with alcohol, and a criminal record. Nothing in at least the past 8 years, but all from fights, no theft, no dishonesty, just anger, which came from abuse he suffered at the hands of his great uncle (yes, THAT kind). He's currently looking for work and has missed out on 4 or 5 jobs because of his record. Sometimes, you need to look past what you see on the surface and find the person.
