Family support
I grew up in a family where if anything was hard it would just be pushed under the rug. Ever since I was diagnosed 16 years ago I’ve been that hard thing in my family. I look at everybody on here and in the fa community and I see a lot of support with your families. Being an ambassador for FARA, I should be going to fundraisers and meeting the community more but I wouldn’t have a group that supported me. I know this community does but it’s just not the same. I think I would just be embarrassed which is weird for me to say because anyone that knows me knows that I don’t get embarrassed easily.

My wife’s family is beyond sick.
Her dad lives less than 2 miles away and is lucky if he visits for no more than 10 minutes twice a year . her mom lives an hour and a half away and is lucky if she visits once a year. Her sister lives by her mom and hasn’t visited in over 3 years. Now her one daughter is literally trying to kill her through neglect. I was forced to leave because I confronted her about it and since she owned the house. I try as much as I can to get her away from there as much as I can but that is hard since I have lost everything I had trying to be there for her. I told her parents what her daughter was doing and they just don’t care at all.
For an example .. Her daughter invited to live there a drug dealer . the house smells like pot every day. She only gets about half her meds. She only gets to the bathroom once a day. List goes on…..
I am 51 and have a hernia and had a small stroke in January. I’ve been talking to everyone I can about it and no one cares. Really is sick how bad society has gotten.
We have been forced into our last option which is saving a few thousand for a box trailer to convert into a camper to live in. No I’m not exaggerating or joking.-
That’s really awful man. Hang in there guys. I see you are into boating. Are you ever around Louisiana?

We are from ohio. But once we get going in our trailer Louisiana is one place we want to go. The boat unfortunately is one thing that I had to get rid of last fall.
