His mother died in a fire that Graham himself started; hence his “li’lpyro” screen name on another site. It helps to explain his self hatred and need to fill the emptiness within him with attention… ANY attention.

It’s been rough knowing that below the surface his father abhors and blames him for his position in life. And yet, because Casemods cried, pleaded and begged his father, not to leave him behind and alone in California, when his opportunity came to move east (witness protection program), he brought him along.

M[c]S are his circle of the closest thing he has to friends; sure, he hangs around on other websites; but, this is the one that he considers home, the one he can stomp around, get attention, and feel untouchable in.

But if you read between the lines, the psychological stresses coming from the major changes in his life due to moving away from where he was familiar and comfortable, to the alien land of Illinois, has severely weakened his mental walls. They are starting to crumble, and his past is beginning to crash in upon him.

The increases in his acting out, the need to be recognized “King”, even the taunting of Tiki… are signs of his not being able to cope.
And, like some months ago when all this was set into motion, casemods is feeling like he is again spinning out of control, and is even more desperately flailing about to find familiar footing, any solid contact, the only way he knows how; pushing other peoples buttons.

Now you know!
