Polly:Gators needed
Polly
Send the gators north. All of them. Not one or two, but a whole brigade. I'll email you privately in a day or two but I've not much confidence in the human race at the moment. Prayers, good thoughts, warm hugs are needed for my young friend/former student/sort-of-adopted-son. |

Filing the paper work right now, Stephen. All I have to do to transport
them is to persuade DHS that we're going to open an endangered species habitat in Alaska. Maybe they won't ask what the species is. Polly "Dee in Oz" wrote in message . au...

Okay, for Dee and others wanting to know what is up, here goes. Because of
reasons you will soon understand, this will be cryptic and short on specific details. Former student graduated last year, showed up to help this year and I found out about physical and emotional abuse of many years, being sent away by parents, had to pay rent and food while in high school and parents raided his account to pay for tickets to travel. Told him to move out when they found out he likes boys, lived with my partner and I for three weeks because of threatened abuse by father while mother and sisters gone. Crash course in getting out on your own, budgeting, etc. Found boyfriend, had to explain birds and bees, had to get 10 friends to extract his belongings from home after a call to police, including bike which is transportation to job. Still living with us then apartment, boyfriend has issues and moves into studio apt for two days ends up being two weeks then bf hooks up with ex and borrows money from my former student instead of picking up his assistance money so I step in to pay rent and loan I co-signed. BF disappears, misses dinner to talk about things, bf dumped, former student waffling, I'm trying to point out the negatives of bi-polar, fetal alcohol syndrome, never having a job and 21 years old and no diploma or GED are not bf material. Then a week ago at work knocked out in the locker room and assaulted and something for evidence was retrieved from toilet. Please read into this. Today was necessary medical exam (LATE AND I'M ****ED), follow-up police statements (and the police don't seem to want the clothing for evidence), and this week we will be contacting the local crisis center to begin services normally provided to women. Person is in jail, linked to two others in AK and one in Seattle, supposedly confessed, but unknown and will probably make bail tomorrow. (Gators needed at the jail door) It has been a long slog since October. Often I was driving to work twice a day, 31 miles one way, as I worked a morning shift and he worked a late shift so I'd be up at 5 to get to work, he'd ride along, leave for work from school, I'd either come home and then go back at 10 at night to retrieve him, or stay after school until then to come home. He doesn't drive. Would often need to talk and often until after midnight. Five or less hours of sleep isn't quite enough. Now I'm driving clear across town, usually a 40 minute drive, to pick him up on his days off to spend with us. Obviously he needs comfort and protection at the moment and someone to hold him while he cries. There's so much more, but I just can't write it all here. As it is I've probably put too much out. I'm not ashamed to say that I hope the break up lasts, he can be on his own for awhile, get his finances back in order and get the counsling and other help he will have to have to work through the events of last Monday and that a plea will occur so that there will not have to be a trial. I'm exhausted emotionally as well and physically am about drained. All this on top of everything at work, too many changes and frustrations to enumerate, and Bert has often held me at night as I've cried myself to sleep from everything. It portends to be another long week and probably more after that. We all need hugs for sure. Thanks for listening. Steven Alaska "Steven Cook" wrote in message mmunications...
