Pick up as you go

I hate to use this title as an example but today I was faced with one of the more challenging problems I’ve ever encountered.

The issue was between two sisters fighting over a guy. Now the guy is your typical ass. The rich, accomplished guy who sleeps with both women causing trouble within the family. I couldn’t help but tell them both to do the impossible — which was to leave the jerkwad alone, but the elder sister made a point and she said, there must be something about the guy that’s doing this to them that makes him worth it.

Why do I say this? I’ve been to a similar situation from years back. It was between me and my buddy Lloyd but, then it wasn’t as serious as this although the girl was really something — more of, I didn’t let it get too serious. Her life went downhill after getting hooked on drugs. Surreal but true.

I just told them both to think hard of the repercussions of this as I can’t really tell them what else to do, except what I had already told them which was to find a better man for each. At the end of it all, family should always come first. But that’s me.
