Back to my original post...if you happen to be one of the ones that posted here who knew Kris because you were affiliated in any way with his drug use, drug selling, etc....please get help while you still can.  If you are taking time to read this and have access to the internet, then you have not reached your bottom.  Please don’t wait until you do.  Don’t put your family and everyone around you through what Kris has put everyone in his life through.  There is hope and there is help if you want it.  Kris didn’t want help.  He may never want help.  He may not even be “helpable” (I had him in counseling since he was 5 and his stepfather commited suicide and we found him...I have had him admitted to Charter facilities and spent a fortune on psychiatrists—one of whom said he was the first child he had ever worked with that he could not get thru to.” I just know that if the drugs didn’t cause him to be the way he is, they certainly amplified the negatives.  Don’t let them do it to you.

This is Kris’ mom again. Jason, unfortunately, you are so right.  I have said the same thing before to Kris’ sister, my daughter—Kris has been this way a long, long time.  I thought it was a combination of the drugs and him being bipolar that caused it but maybe he is just inherently evil. I really don’t know or know why he is the way he is. No one else in our family is like this… I at one point was truly afraid he would kill me if he had the chance. I cancelled a flight for a visit to see a friend/coworked in Pennsylvania last fall that I had had planned for months for fear of what he might do to my house and my daughter while I was gone. It’s like he does not care what he does to anyone - and I do mean ANYONE - as long as it benefits him, and then on top of that he has NO REMORSE WHATSOEVER for anything he does...ever. He is all about Kris and what is in it for him. I pray that he changes as a result of what he is facing, but in all honestly, I am not convinced he ever will.

This guy sounds like a real sweetheart.

(Con’t from below) all those.  So whatever lies he has fed you or fed your daughter or fed whoever is misleading you really should remember that there are two sides to every story.  Just the fact that Kris is the “con artist” that he is should tell you not to believe him.  You can always tell when he is lying...it’s when his mouth is open.  I didn’t know the credit card thing took place at Walmart.  I did not know about the old lady you say he chased with a baseball bat; those could very well be true.  That’s more reason for me to be angry at him.  But having said all that, I am a mother and I will always be a mother and as angry as I am at him there will always be a part of me that will hurt because of this and because of the way his life has turned out.  Whoever posted the comment that they are glad he is off the street, I am glad he is, too.  I only wish they had kept him off the street when they arrested him in Tennessee last year, and spared all of us from everything since then.

(Con’t from below) that he and Amanda came to my house and stole almost $300 out of his 20-month-old neice’s change jar—which her mom (my daughter) had been saving for her since before she was born.  I am angry that people try to blame parents for they way they turned out.  So you had a dysfunctional family—get over it.  Quit using that for an excuse and start taking responsibility.  Kris has never done that and I am sure he’ll find someone even now to blame for his predicament.  You think you know so much, but the truth is, you only know a very minute amount of the real “dirt” on Kris.  You mentioned him having 4 felonies...4??  He had 10 felonies at the age of 18, honey.  He lost a job making $45K+ a year as a manager of a restaurant due to his drug addiction many years ago, and a granite business as well.  He has disrespected me by coming into my home and throwing things, breaking things and threatening not only to hit me, but to set me up by planting “dope” in my car --->>>
