Whose team are you on? I ask him. I dont follow you what do you mean whose team am I on? he asks. I mean, you want your son back and there are forces in this world that want to take him from you. There is a battle going on. Sides have been taken, Johns team is his family and the other team is everything that you dont want for your son. Walking away is the exact thing that the other side wants. Instead of walking away, you need to fight. I add: Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be and he will become what he should be.
