[QUOTE="Huff, post: 615012, member: 17474"] Now that a little of my situation is out there. I could use a few opinions. After our gig finished fire school the only thing he ever finished we talked about him helping on the farm to get through planting season. Then he must find a job and if he wanted to farm he would have to work to make a living and I could help him start off small. I do not have the financial resource to take the extra risk to set him up. We plant till we get done and get a crop going this was in 2009.after about 6 weeks I sit him down and ask what his plans are as far a looking for a job. He replied he was going to wait for the larger city close to us to take applications. I have several friends on this dept. and it took several years to get on there will be several hundred apply for 10 20 positions. There are smaller communities around that have small paid dept. with some volunteers and they are the stepping stone to the larger ones. I said ok but he had to start looking for a job in the mean time. He exploded and said that was not the deal. I remained calm and tried to talk with him to no avail. He threatened to hit me but did not.the words he kept screaming at haunt me to this day. He kept saying you are wasting my life. When my ex and I discussed this she thought I should fire my employee of 17 years and bring him in. It is my opinion that with difficult child history and anger issues this was not a good idea se agreed till she talked with him then everything was my fault. I guess what I want to know is was my thinking out of line. I am not real good with words I hope this makes sense. And any thoughts would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
