[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 754075, member: 16024"] Hi Skittles, Are you sure she doesn’t have an other options for transportation? In the US (or at least the state I live in) anyone on welfare gets a letter send out from the state asking if they need help with transportation for necessary things like medical appointments and offering services for free if needed, if they qualify. Many people don’t know about this unless they are involved in the system directly as a recipient or an employee, and many recipients don’t take the time to read through their mailings and may not even realize this is available. It might be worth a phone call to the local welfare office or other government agencies to see if there is anything possible in her situation. If not, I would let her find an alternative. They are two adults who will need to know how to survive without you eventually. Might as well start now. It sounds like this man has a lot of free time on his hands that might better be spent working or finding ways to support his family and look after their needs instead of relying on others to do this. Doing something for someone that they can and should be doing for themselves is enabling and not healthy for either party. Go back and read what you wrote that precipitated the fight in the parking lot. I’m not blaming you for starting the problem AT ALL.This man is scary and went way over the top with his aggression and I wouldn’t be anywhere near him from now on, but review what went on prior to the outburst. These two adults are acting like they are dependent children and it is not healthy or normal, and definitely not something they should be role modeling to the kids. Keep in touch and let us know how it goes. It sounds like you need some support while you figure out how to handle this situation on a daily basis. [/QUOTE]
