So much has happened to M and the teenagers since they arrived here in Adelaide. Although things are not perfect here after my return form Abu Dhabi I don't think the family would have survived an extended period of my absence: I would not have been part of what has turned out to be a traumatic readjustment to life in the real world for all of us.(Adelaide).
As it is, living as I do at A's place with my chinese lodger companions, I am still not 'centre stage'-but at least I am here-if only on the fringe. I think it would just have made things worse if I had tried to squeeze in permanently at HQ with the others. (where M,S and J are living). In such a small house space all of us would have felt the strain.
The financial pressure is a real concern but J has just been made employee of the month -at McDonalds and is doing very well on that front -and at school too. S is doing OK at University of Adelaide and has just started a job one day a week as a security guard at his Rugby club.
This should give him confidence and a little more cash-and help us out with the rent.

This is where I would like to be after I have robbed the bank
