I was diagnosed with PTSD that progressed into a full blown debilitating mental illness and am a recovering addict. The latter doesn't have so much to do with why I would need to look to a public housing assistance program more the mental illness that held me back and is a slow recovery. I have my own hang ups about being someone who has a applied for, lived in and out of briefly and again in life that is someone who still needs in a dyer way rental assistance. I have recently reapplied to the program and the help when I finally get placed will such a relief and help. On the downside, I am hung up and self conscious about taking the assistance. Makes me feel like I am not equal and am sub human. Everyday I am reminded of where I could of been or should be in my life in concern to my financial stability if it weren't for being struck with the onset of an undeserved mental illness. Hope I didn't share too much. Thanks for the honest remarks in your answer.

Thanks so much for the info.

so true.

Maybe 2 out of 3 rules are being broken. It's more about that he doesn't love me and hasn't told me so even though we've had a sexual relationship for about 8 years. He is pretty serious about being my friend in the way that he's at least not outward mean or abusive/disrespectful towards me. He's pretty nice to me in friendship way. There is absolutely no chance of getting him to take me seriously as a girlfriend or long term marriage partner or just boyfriend girlfriend type thing.

It's a Samsung Gravity 2 phone. The service provider is T Mobile. No I don't have a cable that connects it to the computer. If need be and if it's not too expensive I could potentially get one. No bluetooth.

I got myself apparently in a big hype wanting to share my punch recipe that I didn't read your whole question. How hasty of me. Sorry about that I guess I wasn't paying attention where I should have been. I have another punch idea that better answers the question. Something you could use with a variety of different kinds of alcohol. How about something like Orange juice, Cranberry juice,or whatever juice sounds good, 7 Up or sparkling soda combined with rainbow sherbet or whatever kind or sherbet you think would fit. You could also add fresh cut/sliced fruit. I think that would work okay with the various alcohols. You could also make an Italian Soda type punch with flavors that work with the types of liquor you want. For example Jamaican Rum and mango flavoring put a bunch a different appropriate flavors in. Look up punch recipes at allrecipes.com. There are lots of them.

I have a correction I grounded her for a month and still let her go out every Saturday as long as she agreed to let me come with her on those Saturday visits with her friends. She was also only allowed to stay out until 7pm. Just felt like clarifying that. Um ...sorry if i am being redundant.

I agree with the no treatment thing too. My outlook on this issue is actually very sensible and liberal I just threw the treatment idea out there for some reason. I think I was pretending to be more conservative than I am with my ideas on teenage parenting and seldom pot smoking. The parenting teens drug issue can be a heated sensitive subject for some. Didn't want anyone to think I wasn't doing enough. And yes it is against the law and if caught one could end up burdened with life long consequences.

I agree with and very much liked your answer. At any rate it was a bit of a rather simpleton type question.

I did not write this answer. I swear I would admit it if I had. That's my picture with my name Clementine but I don't know what's up with that answer. It didn't come from me. I will email questionland@thestranger and see how this mistake could have been made. I guess.
