I really hope your disability comes through soon...I am waiting myself, but until then (and even afterwards) I luckily have my father's monetary support. It comes with more guilt than most people could imagine, but nonetheless I consider myself very lucky...I need to be able to make ends meet more than I need a "good father" (in all other senses of the word).
Hugs to you and I really hope things get better...and soon.  |
Thanks for your kindness.
My father used to help me out until he developed a disease and is now in a nursing home. Hell, last time I saw him he gave me $50 for my birthday and I felt guilty for even taking it. What sucks is that I didn't use it to take myself out to a nice place for a meal or buy a new pair of badly needed shoes etc., no, I put some gas in the car then bought basics like TP, shampoo etc. all the stuff food stamps doesn't buy.
I hope your SSI gets approved. I'll cross my fingers if you do the same for me, k?
