I am so fucking sorry gen. That fucking sucks. I will never EVER understand why the people who work the hardest get screwed the most.

I know that I don't tell you enough. But I am very proud of you and how far you have come. I'm proud of how hard you work and the responsibilties that you have taken and owned up to. It may seem like lip service but it's not. What I would do, I would call them again and ask to speak to someone else. Try to explain that he hasn't done anything, I know you have a thousand times already, but again doesn't hurt. She does so well there...

I am sorry I am not there to help out. Even if it is just to pick her up from school for you. I know it sucks. I love you two very much. Call me if you need me.

I'm so sorry. I wish I lived closer to you so I could help you out. I've totally been in your shoes. It sucks.

Hang in there.

sorry about what's going on. the government's rough. paperwork is a nightmare. put them together and it's hell. i hope everything works out and you don't have to spend endless hours of your freetime trying to find papers you know you don't have.

thanks for the "happy b-day." i had a great time.

I think your friend Shaneka stated things quite well in her first statement "the people who work the hardest get screwed the most."
Sure as hell appears that way. I have my thoughts about situations but some things are not meant to to put out for just anyone to read though. Especially on SG .... some might mis-understand me and I think that I have been mis-understood enough already.

Sorry sweety about your situtation in someway I could understand what your going through last year there where so many time's I almost got evictid from my place for not pay the rent for 9 month's cuase my mom wasn't telling me nothing but have the nerv to tell my brother then there was the time I didn't know how to put all my paper work toghter for re-certifacetion. Shit right know I want to move out but right know my credit is bad and I got no where to go and I can't stand my mom she drive's me nut AAAAAAAArrrrrrgh.

Hey sweetie, I truly hope things work out for you. Where is ole boy during all of this? I would love to buy you dinner or something to get you out of the house and make you smile again. And of course Lyric can come.

don't you hate well spoiled fucks of people try and tell you that they "understand" what you're going through?

especially the ones that call you "sweetie".

Miss Genevieve,
We don't know each other and I hope that you don't think badly of me for being so foward.
I read your journal entry and I can both sympathize and empathize. I can sympathize because I have been in a similar situation. The welfare system is most definitely fucked up.
I was homeless and jobless just three years ago, I had my wife and three teenagers to take care of, my family sounds a little like yours except mine are religious nuts and refuse to assist me when I need it because they think I married a tainted woman.
If I knew you better I might be able to help. I can only say that there is such a thing as Karma, hang in there. Take care of yourself and your little girl above all else.
I apologize if this came across as condenscending or patronizing. It is not how I meant it.
Oh and in response to your comment on 1stXer's journal, my wife has the same problem.
She has the shirt and there are some people that know she is bi. It seems the showing your boobs on the net and being bi means automatically that you are a slut and will sleep with anyone and do anything.
Sorry to hear that it happened to you.

It's cool, I just want to make sure you are OK and not alone through this.

Thank you for the birthday comment and Happy LATE Birthday to you.

On your post I can definitely relate in a completely different situation... I hope all gets better for you sweetie!

I was all smiles while reading your comment you left. On a more concerned note Gen; some of the things you state reinforce my thoughts on drugs and alcohol and from my own experiences .... destroys families and lives. When you say your have been depressed and crying; leaves me undecided on saying something... because I see that you would either think I am preaching or telling you what to do. In other words I could be mis-understod. BTW .. I would not want to be viewed as a creepy older man and come out and say I want to fuck you.

I will send you that story too.
There is a lot more that could have been written but ... I think you can understand the hoplessness.

dag nab it your getting hit up finatcialt for everything

I see that you re-edited your post. I know of that stuff. I've seen it first hand. Bottom line, your parents are fucked up. Nothing you can do about, nothing you did to make it this way, it's just the way they are. Why did they have kids? Same reason why people adopt puppies and then give them to the pound when they are not cute any more.. They are just fucked up. The only difference is, you are not them and you haven't followed in the pattern. Yes, fucked up shit has happened to you and yes you have done some fucked up shit.. But you are still stronger than that, you are stronger than to blame your choices in life on the way you live. You are better than to blame your shortcomings on other people (your mother). I know you are in a bind right now. But trust me, you are a lot farther in the game. You have endurance and heart in your situtation. It will get easier, it may take Lyric going to school, but it will get easier. I promise. You just need to talk care of yourself, Lyric ( your most prized posession and the cutest and the smartest... etc) and if you want, Justin. And if you have to, FUCK THEM. Don't talk to them. FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUCK THEM... That's really all there is to it. They cause you TOO much pain and discomfort. I know it's easier said than done (dad and me) but you worth way more than that. It sucks when the family that is suppose to be there, isn't. You still have me, mom, and darrah.

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

wow, I hope things get better.

Summarizing, fuch them all!!!

Quit smoking and enjoy your child.

damn...i hope shit works out for you.

Like my boy WhereIGrow said, you aint alone. i'm pretty sure i gave you my number, use it if you ever need to vent. I know we've never met but i'm still here for you.

Congrats on the no smoking too, that shit's hella rough on a person and you made it.

p.s. if ya need a break, i just put up some (slightly blurry) pictures of Chino from the Team Sleep show i went to last night.

P.s.s.

oh and if you ain't got the Team Sleep album yet and you want it, let me know. I'll send you one.

Now that you have spilled your guts for the world to see, do not become a stranger around here. Glad to here Nawlins has been spared the brunt of the hurricane.
