I am a young man raised in an abusive and neglectful environment. My mother was an alcoholic, and my father was verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive to me. I had little to no overt affection or support. I was widowed when the mother of my daughter was murdered. Once addicted to meth and cocaine, I have achieved sobriety before I was arrested almost three years ago. Father of three sons: three, two, and six and a half, and one daughter, six. For her best interest, he consented to adoption by fictive kin, and I also agreed to the adoption of his two-year-old son by foster parents. Both adoptions are conditional so he can maintain communication and contact as much as possible. The two-year-old son is with his mom, and the six-year-old son is in the guardianship of his grandfather.
I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoyed cutting hair, drawing, and being a tattoo artist. I want to learn how to weld or other valuable occupational skills, and I am about to start classes to earn my high school diploma. I am bright and capable, but my writing skills are lacking as I did not finish high school. I want a pen pal to occupy his time positively so he doesn't get too isolated, out of touch, and lonely. I try to stay to myself and stay away from conflict and trouble. I hope to have a pen pal and a chance to be a friend to someone who might also be lonely. I wants a friendship for a sense of connection and to stay in touch with the outside world. I hope a new law in Nevada might shorten my sentence, but I want to complete my time in a manner that will allow me to get out without being on probation. I do plan to apply for parole as soon as I am able. I want a quiet, healthy, peaceful life with a decent job and a happy relationship with my kids, and one day, I hope to find love again, but I am satisfied if I can get out and be a productive citizen and a good dad.
