[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 374697, member: 84"] Yeah, Donna I've been to St Louis. It impresses me about as much as Cincinnati does........which is not at all. The inner city is not really a place to live, on either side of the river. I tried to tell K that.....but I think her husband was filling her head with ideas of what a golden opportunity it was.........and yeah. When you're desperate, or think you're desperate, you don't always think clearly. I do realize that this could just be a ploy for her to get here and mooch. She could be playing me for a svcker. But while I'm keeping that in mind, I don't think so. So many times she had the opportunity to come straight out and ask, and never did. This is also not the 1st email where she has strongly hinted she is fed up with her husband. I've gotten the sense over the past 2 yrs that she feels trapped by both him and the situation he's kept her in. I'm still trying to think of how to word my response. The best senerio is that she'd leave perv behind and start a new life with her family to support her. If we could arrange for them to come to a shelter here to start over, I'm not fool enough to tell her to leave him behind. I hope that she would, for both herself and the kid's sake, but that is a decision she alone has to make. IF our shelter has an opening they would find her both housing and a job. Housing wouldn't be much of an issue.....we have HUD funded apartments right in town. BUT she has to work in order to live in them, period. Nichole had a friend at the factory she worked at that had come to our shelter from Ky because she'd just finished rehab and was trying to start a new life so she could get her daughter back. The shelter did take her, helped her get the job and set her up with a place to live. Like I said......at this point, I don't know what will happen. I know I'm not jumping off the deep end without looking into all the alternatives first. And right now I'm waiting for my Mom and sis to arrive for my graduation. I'm sitting here with a huge gaping hole in the front of my mouth because a cap came off of my front tooth. Finally found a superb dentist who would take me, but the tooth is in such bad shape he said it would make it worse to attempt to re-cap it. I have an appointment with him next week to start getting my teeth fixed. He will take payments that we can afford. My mouth is an utter disaster area thanks to no inusrance and no money.
