laura2, I know I really can't go back to that area. My father took me down to a fast food restaurant in that part of town a few months ago. I wasn't expecting he was going to take us to that one! I was so mad, I couldn't believe he took me and my son down there. I so panicked and was afraid the guy would come in or drive by. It was horrible. I really couldn't live over there. Well, I told him about where it was and he just said something like he hung out down it that area a lot and it wasn't the best part of town. I don't think it crossed his mind that that was the same area I just cannot go to.

bluesylady, I am still married, but my husband is in jail and will be for 9 months at the least to 2 more years at the most. I told the people with the Mental Health Association about my situation and my father. They recommended certain shelters and a place to go for therapy. But transportation to therapy is a problem. I hope they'll keep me at the top of the list for housing though.
