riffing/freestyling is everything. The more raw the more real. Just look at Marc Rebillet, Harry Mack, Kill Tony, etc… everything is so artificial now, the best new media is people just fucking around and being real.

Honestly, the tone of your posts strikes me as negative and/or superior, so I wouldn’t expect them to resonate with the core user base. Try focusing on the positive inverse of the things you would otherwise be negative about and see if that doesn’t work out a little better, maybe.

Anyway, if you made it this far I'm sorry and what is wrong with you... I just had to unload this shit into the abyss so I can leave it behind me and get back up on the horse.

One of my nieces has asked to stay with me. We are trying to get guardianship and make that happen. Now that I've lost my job without severance I am absolutely fucked. This year has been absolutely nightmarish. I don't want this kid to have to go back to that life.

A few months ago my mom started telling me how much she'd been missing her dog and her mom and relatives she left in ATL. She is going back in 3 weeks, and I am terrified for her. It has been rough providing for 3 additional family members for the last year. It almost destroyed me. But I don't want that life for her.

When I returned I had burned through almost all of my money. I was desperate for work and took the first serious offer I could get my hands on. I hated the work and my boss was a terrible human being. But a week more and I would have lost everything.

That was a year ago. Since then she has fully recovered. She's healthy and happy. We haven't talked much about the things she said happened. After a while she said none of that happened, and that she did try to take her own life. I think the truth lies somewhere in between and will likely never know what went down.

For a couple of weeks she is very weak. She can't remember shit. She is easily confused. But she recovers. We get her medical procedures out of the way. She does not have cancer. We convince her husband to let the kids visit, and we convince them to stay.

My mom is stressed and telling me to just leave. I let them take her oxygen to prove my point. 96. We bounce. We stay with my aunt for a few days and my mom makes an instant recovery. She is walking before we leave Atlanta. We hit the road to AZ. I drive almost nonstop, but take a short nap in TX.

She obliges. I put my mom in the wheelchair, throw the bags over my shoulder, and head for the door. We're 20 feet from the door, and the administrator comes out of an adjacent hallway with security and attempts to block my path. She is really worried about my mom's oxygen levels. If I leave it will be unsafe.

After psych it's oxygen. But she can't find a tank. I feel like she's stalling. I persist. She delays. My mom is begging me to get her out of there. So I silently pack all of mine and my mom's things. A young nurse is walking down the hallway. I ask her if she can help me find a wheelchair...

I had to get her out of there. She still couldn't walk -- she could barely hold her cup to her face to drink. But given the strangeness of his behavior and what my mom told me had occurred, I had to do something. I pushed the administrator to release her. She said if psych approves, she will allow it. Psych approved.

She was breathing on her own, eating, and drinking at this point. She was doing well in behavioral therapy. Her recovery was shocking. I pressed the hospital to release her. They delayed. I saw his nurse friend talking to the administrator in the hallway, looking towards my mom's room. In my mind, alarm bells scream.

The kids were too afraid to say anything with him standing right in front of them. The police wouldn't do anything about it. I left tens of messages for DFCS. More than a year later and I have never heard a word back from them. Her husband is an ex-cop. The local police started following me to & from the hospital.

The kids are still telling me they are being abused and treated unfairly. When it was first reported, I called the local police department and asked for a welfare check. I never got a call back. I tried calling DFCS. Nothing. So I called the sheriff. Finally a welfare check was conducted. In front of her husband.

I call her husband to try to advise him of her wishes. She has legal guardianship, he's not blood, and she wants to leave. The kids should come with her. He refuses, and blocks all communication with me. His sister begins texting her phone very unkind and terrible things about her kids. She can still barely walk.
