Thank you John, what I ment by their dad leaving...I found out that my husband was using crack cocaine in Sept 2003, he was working away out of town. From the time I found out in Sept to Dec 23, 2003 he had done 4 armed robberies was arrested and from there on he spent probably 4 years in and out of jail. The boys wanted nothing to do with him. When he was not in jail he lived about 2 hours away from us, 2 years ago he moved to another province. My 21 year old will now have a telephone conversation with him, that has been since he was about 15, so 6 years of no contact, but my younger son 19 will still have nothing to do with him.
As for the garage, it is a garage, he has and has always had his own bedroom. I wish talking to him or screaming at him would put some sense into him, but like I said, I had to call the police.
