Very interesting article to read if you have the time. Have always thought Todd M. was a loser, but man this poor kid was seriously abused by the most over bearing dad ever. Classic story of Father running childs life so child can be a star athlete. Cautionary tale of an f'd up parent and what can happen. Recommend the article.

Man, that is quite the story. Life can be very, very trying and sad for too many. 

Hope this guy can find some peace and more happiness than he's been privy to.

It's absolutely brutal what Todd went through but also what his sister Traci experienced. Of course the ripple effect has been passed on to the next generation to a degree. I am glad to hear he is getting to the truth instead of the lie. Hope for the best for both Todd and Traci.
