Like Adam, I first got static for joining the Gnostic faith and then I was really hit hard for deciding to leave the force. I left for the same reason Adam described. I wanted to be a part of something special, I liked feeling as if I was a part of something upstanding and honorable. I don’t feel that way or didn’t most days. I don’t like knowing how little bosses care about excessive force and how much time is wasted covering for bad officers instead of getting rid of them. Leaving, like Adam, was the best thing I’ve ever done. Mark does pay better and I am doing something honorable. I retained a couple of my friends on the force but most of them don’t want anything to do with me.
Em, I love you my sweet daughter and I’m glad you didn’t leave me all alone during that very difficult time in my life.
