This has been a very stressful week.
I have a neighbor girl who has some serious family issues. Here is my email to a couple people asking for help for her. Now, she asked me to ask them, so this was not me prying:
S. just came over. Things have gotten significantly worse for her. Her parents are throwing her out. She apparently took $20 and for that she is having to leave. She is convinced that she was a bad person for taking the money and that she deserves to be thrown out. She said to me, a few times, "I really need your help." She tried to convince me that it would be ok for her to stay here.
She hopes that I can help in some way. One she said was a little upsetting to me because it showed that she expected me to be part of it. She said "what are we going to do?" and she meant her and me, not her and bella or whatever. I told her I would ask around to see if I could find someone she could stay with temporarily, but I really can't think of anyone. I couldn't just tell her I wouldn't be able to help at all. That just seemed like kicking her when she is down, and that is something I just can't do. Now what? This is not a position I am happy being put into, but telling her off would be awful. I do want to be a friend, but I can't have this responsibility.
Can you think of anyone she can stay with? Any way she can get money (keeping in mind she doesn't even have a driving permit)? Anything at all?
Ok, so that gives an idea of one of my stresses.
Now, today, my computer went on the fritz again. I checked to see if the laptop would work. The history was up, so of course I couldn't help but see that the other night, when David decided to sleep on the couch for a bit 'cause he couldn't sleep, he was back to exactly what he knows gets me thouroughly upset. I can't take this. I am in bed worried, and he is enjoying his computer. I feel betrayed because he knows how much it upsets me. I'm angry. I'm thinking I may need a place to stay this weekend to cool off. Besides, he doesn't need me here. He has his computer.
