I think what it is with Martin, is that he was exposed for two years to a woman's children, who knew nothing about the truth, but everything about lying. He has so many things he has done, because he was allowed to, while being watched by this woman, and so breaking him of these little habits, will be hard. His own mother is not happy with what he does, which is why he is in our home. His mother knows I am strict enough to make the changes happen, even under the stress I am under. I also know, after talking to her, that many of rules, if not all, that he has to follow here, are the ones she is going to enforce as well, as she sees how wonderful you two have turned out, Butterfishy.
I am a proud mother, a stressed out "grandmother" to Martin, but I love all three of you. You are my family.
