I don't think that's really a risk, and NOBODY wants to fall afoul of AZ domestic abuse laws.  Not Freeky, not her BF, not her parents.

Frankly, I think you're right, though.  This can't go on.

Also, the next time her mom gets melodramatic, feed the fire.

"Ohhh I just want my life to end!"

- "Shall I go get the gun, mother?"

"I can't afford to keep doing this!"

- "Then maybe you should get rid of the dog if you can't afford to feed it shoes anymore."



...of course this is the shit that got me thrown out the first time. But my mom is actually bipolar and has actually taken swings at me while manic prior to her being medicated. Her's just sounds like a selfish cunt.

Again, I don't know her mother well enough to say.  I do know that Freeky is very unhappy, though.  Her situation is bleak, but not unrepairable (though she may have to make some very hard stands on things like child support, etc).

In my inexpert opinion, she needs to get away from both situations.  In her shoes, I'd find a roomie and start over.  ANY job, combined with child support (her ex is self-absorbed, but not a complete ass) ought to let her hold up her end, especially if she can get more than one roommate.

Unfortunately stress is blinding. She sounds smart enough to know all of this though, unlike other people I know.


I told a friend of mine who is currently living out of one bedroom with his wife and newborn son in his wife's mother's house to get a job at McDonald's or something, ASAP. He told me no, because his wife won't let him because "he's better than that."

He doesn't have one. She doesn't have one, and dropped out of college because "She didn't like it". She keeps trying to get him diagnosed with all sorts of mental illnesses to see if they can qualify for disability or something. They live on food stamps, bitch that her brother eats whatever they buy in the fridge, and yet still go out to Friendly's for pancakes with whatever money he makes selling Jedi robes.

Yes. Jedi robes. That's what he makes. They live vicariously through the fact that they have friends who are willing to help them out, because they are such "high standing people in the Rebel Legion". Which, by the way, gets you nothing on your resume. I've tried. We're all getting sick of this song and dance. At first we were like, "Okay, they had a kid, let's help them out." but now it's, "Ugh, they're using that fucking sprog for handouts again."

I'm sorry, I hate my job, but it's a fucking job in a state that doesn't have many of them left. If I had a kid and was constantly bitching about living in one room by the grace of god in someone else's house where I didn't have to pay rent or bills, I'd be pounding the pavement EVERY FUCKING HOUR OF THE DAY looking for ANYTHING. There is no job too fail for the want of supporting my child and trying to get him a better life. Shit, I'd work at both McDonald's and Wendy's if I had to. But he won't, because wifey says, "You have Asperger's and you need to go on disability and you're too good for those jobs anyway." all the time.

And now they want to have another kid.

I hate people.

Ugh.  Well, Freeky isn't like that.  She WANTS to work, hell, she'd swamp out bathrooms if she had to, there's just no jobs here.  Not exaggerating about that.  This town's unemployement is "officially" at 12%, but reported at an actual 38%.

38%.

No wonder everyone is going nuts.

Can't see that (websense).

However, I can say that most hourly jobs are hiring at 10 hours a week (ask Von Melee and Nivek about that), and that Tucson is 40 miles across (we have a bus system, though).

Lastly, she's still applying, AFAIK.  And no, I haven't seen her resume.  I could always give it the Roger Treatment, especially if a few of us are willing to be her last few bosses (she's quite young, was pregnant early, and has spent the last two years as a homemaker, but there's no need for a potential employer to not know that she's actually spent that time doing something really, really well, if ya dig).

I've already located a few state-subsized daycare centers in your area.  Gonna be a bitch til you get a car, though.  If you get something, I could probably loan you the van for a while, until you can afford a beater.

A friend of mine says that the waiting list for the DES ones, dunno if they're the same, is a year long. And my mom is going to talk to my grandma about using some policy thing that was supposed to be for education to go towards a car. She thought it was a 20 year policy, so there may be some money in there.

Check for yourself.  Also, if the list is a year long, best to sign up asap, yes?

Did she graduate high school?

Obviously she can type. She worked for me as a data entry clerk for 2 years after her kid was born.

I happen to know that her 10 key needs work, but that can be remedied.  She could have worked for me as a typist.
