So, rental car and a friend who does quality bodywork quickly?

I don't think that'll be necessary lol. He's not really a bad person, just . . . misunderstood.

Heh. Aren't we all.

I'm just glad he's not my problem any more.

why was he in prison?

^ What did he do?

technically he was charged with kidnapping . . . he got it in his head that he was dating the girl at the dry cleaners . . .

He came to pick her up, she wouldn't leave with him, so he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out to the truck.

she called the cops and the rest is history.

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

you dodged a bullet

...with all due respect, I'm not really seeing the "misunderstood" part there.

He's a bit on the nutty side. I married him when I was 19 because he was tall, dark, handsome and brooding. And he played in a band.

6 months is pretty harsh

did he not get a lawyer

no no it was TWENTY YEARS

OH MY GOD WUTTT

did he rape her

did he have a gun or something?

the first couple of times he got in trouble his parents got high dollar lawyers and got him off, but this was like the third time he'd done something crazy

still i dont see how that's a 20yr offense

how long as this ride

so the parents wrote him off and let him go to jail

10 mins? 1 hr? days ?

well kidnapping is a serious charge

no, he didn't rape her (as far as I know)

someone drags someone by their arm into their car, that they sorta know....... okay, it's serious but is it 20 yrs serious

gogolita: ...because it's forcible abduction?

we've been feeding and housing this person for 20 yrs

now he's unemployable

and prob insane

he probably did have a gun in the truck, I mean, it's Georgia, we all have a gun in the truck

It sounds like he wasn't all there before prison.

damn he prob did some bad stuff in prison

cos i would think his sentence could get reduced for good behavior

He is definitely not all there, which is why I got the hell out.

My current husband is not tall, dark, and handsome but he's a loveable teddy bear and he works hard and he's cheerful.

how long after your divorce did he kidnap the girl?

years after . . .like 10 years. But we still live in the same town so I hear about all his escapades

this was before the internet LOLOL

True, he has no idea!

He was not on his best behavior in prison.

so he missed the internet....

damn, what a shame

maybe cell phones too

I felt bad because his mother died and he couldn't go to the funeral. that's the only time I've talked to him in 30 years,

I mean, I didn't talk to him, but I wrote him a letter and told him I visited his mom in hospice and went to the funeral, and that she meant a lot to me

He wrote me back, but I didn't respond.

did you have kids together

NO KIDS

thank god

That's why I left, I wanted to have kids and it was obvious I could never have children with him, he was nuts.

I think maybe we had cell phones before he went away
