Here (Tennessee) people have no filters or boundaries.

Omg you are in Tennessee? I lived there for 15yrs - don't wish it on anyone! How they can call it "the bible belt" is beyond me... I grew to call it "Satan's belt" (sorry to anyone who is anti-religious or who may live in n like TN). Everyone I met there who was born and raised there seemed to have no morals ... adult kids bragging about learning sexual ways from parents or other family members n those family members bragging about teaching it, friendships were based upon who could one-up who the best (as far as back stabbing), rape n molestation - that was something to brag about as was any jail time you did. Now, people who were not born n raised there - some of the maintained the morals they came with n some adopted the TN way as a means of survival. TN is a beautiful place in scenery to visit...just never ever live there. The laws n docs are just as bad. Please, please move as soon as you can. I swear that state is like a trap. I wanted out almost as soon as I got there. Took me 15yrs to get out. Now I am in NC. It isn't much better here cuz of the neighborhood I am in but at least they don't measure friendships in some backwoods way or brag about rape and molestation. Those things blew me away n still do. If I hadn't been there to see it I wouldn't have believed it. I hope you are able to move soon. I sincerely do. ❤
