My family is a fair weather family... If I am stable and they need something they are there but otherwise they are not around. My dad doesn't even know my phone number or where I live, he has to ask his mother.
I have also been homeless, it sucks. I was working while I was homeless but not making enough money to have a place to live. Now I have a place to live but have not worked in 5 years.
anyway, I am around if you need someone to talk to.
