Hey, it sounds like we’re twinsies! Right down to having ‘Christmas’ (if you could call it that, haha!) in the back seat of a '90s Lumina! That’s a wild coincidence. I understand where you’re coming from.

I genuinely hope things are better and more stable for you all nowadays. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. Internet hugs to you, if you want them. 🫂

I hear ya! I really don’t know how we’re ‘getting by’ (if you can call it that, lol,) either. You’d probably be surprised at what you can exist without when you straight-up just don’t have any other choice or option but to go without it. (Healthcare, dental care, food beyond the bare minimum to stay alive, any entertainment or conveniences, etc.)

Notice I said “exist” and not “live,” lol. You could say I’m ‘alive,’ but this ain’t living! I’m just existing.

Thank you for suggesting that book. It looks potentially helpful.

Jeez, that’s messed up. I’m so sorry! I hope you’re able to get reimbursed without much more trouble, and I hope your recovery goes well!
