Vincent Michael - Sad, Sad, Sad

[Guest ncm2169]

I, like many of you, have followed the many trials, tribulations and crises that VM lived openly on this Board. From the ingenue to the "Spelling Man," he always wore his heart on his sleeve. Indeed, most of his Reviews were from clients who found him genuinely vulnerable, but always genuine. I never had the chance to hire him, but we emailed and spoke often on the phone, and I confess that I developed a real soft spot in my heart for him.

 

Like many here, I was aghast at his "return" via CL and his almost begging for the most dangerous kinds of sex. One can only hope that someone can talk sense into this young man before it's too late.

If ever there was a need for an intervention, it certainly seems like one is urgently needed for Vincent. I sincerely pray that those closest to him will do that before it is too late.

I'm sorry to say that I think the time for an 'intervention' for Vincent (at least as an escort) has long since passed. I agree it's tough/sad though to recall VM at the start of his career and consider how he's 'spiralled-down' since then...

It was just two weeks ago that a similar thread was started with the same sentiments. Prior to that, there was another thread on Vincent's behavior. What are we hoping to accomplish by starting another thread? His situation is known and no one here seems to be in a position to effect any direct action with this escort, so why more hand-wringing?

It is truly sad

 

I agree...this is sad on so many levels.

Lucky ultimately what you say is correct, HOWEVER, I think most of us have encountered someone in our lives who cried out for help and yet in the end was unable to accept it. The fact that they couldn’t accept our help didn’t lessen the fact that they managed to seriously tug our heart strings.

 

I once knew a principal dancer with American Ballet Theater by the name of Patrick Bissell. Patrick was born and spent his early life in Texas. His father was NEVER able to accept the fact that his son was a BALLET dancer. The poor guy did everything in his power to win acceptance from his father but it was always denied. In his youth Patrick most likely turned to drugs to assuage his feeling of rejection. Eventually in December of 1987 he overdosed and died. Many of us myself included have always wondered if we did enough to help the guy. The answer is of course we did all we could and in the end Patrick failed to help himself.

 

I have much the same feeling about Michael Vincent. I have never met him, but like ncm2169, we communicated by email and I spoke with him on numerous occasions. I am one of the least maternal persons you will probably ever meet but somehow, someway he brought out in me a desire to mother him. I am obviously not the only person who reacted to Michael in this manner and we are all saddened by, what appears to be, his downward spiral.

Epigonos, what an exceptionally thoughtful post and one that hits right on the spot for how I feel and have reacted to everything about Vincent. I met him years ago and really felt an attachment to him. I really want him to get help and I know he is the one that has to come to terms with needing it, but still I struggle with the thoughts that I wish there was something I could do.

JEEZUS, Lucky. That time of the month again?

 

So I missed the previous threads. Sue me.

There is no point in posting information, however sad, about an escort who no longer participates in this site. It's simply gossip mongering. Why don't you go directly to the escort and make the effort to help him out. That will at least have a chance of accomplishing something, which is more than can be said for this thread.

Poor Lucky. Is it cramps dear? I've heard Midol helps.

Poor ncm, is it bitchy queen gossiping about the poor little escort boy gone bad?. Tsk tsk

 

There was a time when I believed that you cared abut an escort whom you claimed needed money for surgery. So I donated. Yet nothing was ever revealed as to whom the escort was or whether he really needed, or even received, the donated money.
