[QUOTE="Lil, post: 667179, member: 17309"] Yes, that was such a pleasant end to our vacation...and on my birthday no less. :( The first ones were "she's going to break up with me and I'm afraid of what I might do". Those I ignored (as much as I'm capable of ignoring a desperate plea for help and veiled threats of self harm). The next was "I've calmed down and if she breaks up with me I guess I'll try to get to (college town)." That one I responded to with, basically, "I hope it all works out. I love you." Then nothing for a day followed by, "no one is getting fed, there's no food, no one will take me to get food stamps so we can eat". Apparently, the only person with a vehicle is the woman who may or may not still live there and the three other people (girlfriend's mom, brother and grandma) all give her their SSI checks. I have no idea why...nor do I care. I asked why the girlfriend couldn't pay for a cab. She quit her job too. So she and he have no income. I finally told him I didn't know what to say. I couldn't help him from an hour+ away and I told him if he moved there he'd have to deal with things himself. I told him his aunt, last I knew, lived there and he might try FB messaging her or her husband and asking them if they'll give him a ride to the food stamp office. I didn't know if they'd help, but that was my only idea. His response was a simple, "I'll try that, thank you, I love you." At least I don't have him calling, since apparently everyone in the house is out of phone time. According to him, there's $2100 in income, but they don't pay the bills or buy food and this one woman handles all their money. Gosh...guess he should have tried harder to keep his job, huh? It's just SO tiring. He's spent $500 in less than a month, said he bought some food and paid some bills. I know he bought video games, because he's mentioned them on FB. God forbid he'd have used part of it to buy a bike or something to be able to get around...but he'd never want to bike the distance it is to town...because that's work. I'm just trying to ignore him as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
