You have to be very comfortable with yourself in order to truly experience the love that a parent can have for their child. I don't think at 15, you're really ready to handle it, because there's still so much of your own issues to be worked out. It's easier when you're older, not because the issues are less or because you've handled them, but because you can acknowledge them, allow them to be, and put them aside for the moment.

I hope that li'l Buddy can experience the true love and caring of a parent for a child. Perhaps a foster parent or adoptive parent will come into the mix; it doesn't sound like his biological parents have a lot going for them.
