[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 453043, member: 84"] Upallnight I've been attempting to carefully ease katie into the idea she could use some help, that getting help is not the end of the world. It's not easy. The girl is terrified of the whole idea. Which also surprises me with the M deal. But that could easily be a case of "it doesn't apply to other people, just me". HaoZi I dunno about the living part. You'd have to see him to believe how emaciated the man is health wise. As for mental health wise........the man is so far gone I doubt a psychiatrist is going to be able to help him. I think he turned that corner at least 20 yrs ago. I think he's most likely scamming her in order to get to stay there, especially if he's walking to the psychiatrist, which IS walking distance from them. This is best case scenario, worst case is something is up.....and they're going to try to pull a fast one on me. Totally stinks that I still have to think in that direction to keep my guard up. But if blowing money got them into a bind as far as rent, and katie could easily be lying to me that she's kept the bills paid, this could be a *see he's trying to get better* now we're homeless (shelter won't take them anywhere in the state) and can we come live with you deal. In which the answer would be NO, regardless, but she doesn't know that. With these two my guard always has to be up and I always have to look for the dark side. Katie appears to be trying to get better, but that could be just appearances too, and she backslides if we don't keep pulling her out of that apt and keep her socializing with us. Old habits die hard. And these two have been looking for a free ride from the get go. She has yet shopped with us once she got her food stamps, she kept turning us down. I'm going to try again this coming week as easy child and I are hitting aldi's and sams club along with normal stores. Just by watching what she buys I can tell how much food stamps she has left. (make a good guess anyway) She states she's been filling out online apps for jobs. Heaven forbid the girl walk to a store and fill out an app. I'm sure the apartment manager is hounding them about working. You have to be working to live there, or be able to prove you're actively looking for work. Alex's disability, while it keeps their rent paid, doesn't count against that.
