Hi everyone:

Last night about 9:20 I got a call from Derrick he was really upset. He is very
hard to understand when these calls come. But I got to the jest of it. He was
talking to someone he was hoping was going to be a person for a relationship
again. As many of you know he is gay, and has had a hard time finding a person to have a relationship with. This person as with a few of the others. Asked him
for money, he had tried once again. To tell him no, it kept going. And the
guy wanted $500.00 for a phone, Derrick says to me, why the heck that much
money for a phone.

I said, I don't think he just wanted a phone. But anyway, after a few I had
asked if he was okay. He wasn't calming down, and I was getting worried. He
said, no he wasn't sure. And he could just use some company. SO in my
car I got and off I went to his house. I'm spending the week with him.

I'm hoping I can figure some of this out. I am at the end of what to do. I can't
get him to realize the online relationships even though all he can do right now.
Aren't what he needs.

I'm hoping when he gets through orientation next week, and back to work it will help.
