Howdy!
My heart broke into a million pieces reading your post. It is all over SS about me, as far as my "parents" called me "the mistake" to my face and in public and at 18 I got kicked out and never heard from them again, 100% their choice. Now that was in 1974, yep, I am 67 and have lived through a lot of life's trials and tribulations, 2 attempts, lots of 72-hour hospital holds, fighting the court system so that I was not long term committed.
I also have no family nor friends, EXCEPT everyone on SS, who are my extended family. With that aspect said, I consider you a good friend and want the best for you always.
You are NOT a pussy or anything of such ever. One can tell by your writing that you are a kind, caring, sensitive and intelligent soul. I get the aspect of feeling like one is running into a wall with nothing on the horizon, BUT in all my years, at least for me and I bet for you also down the road of life, out of the blue comes along something that made me smile, feel good about myself.
Case in point, back in the summer of 1981, I had just finished my 1st year of college, I went late at the age of 24, and was flat broke. No money for food, gas nothing and one the folks that I went to college with heard about it and asked his dad to hire me for the summer and it REALLY got me out of a bind. It was truly out of the blue.
I still work, so I am not on all the time, but please feel free to pm me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
We are all different BUT also all the same, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.
Sending you lots of huge hugs, love, caring and the knowledge that you are a loving, caring and very intelligent soul.
