You post here mainly to blow off steam. I get that. But, Crypts, you have to leave him.

It's impossible. I know. You don't have friends or family who can take you in. You're scared of ending up back in the shelter that kicked you out. Financially, it can't be done. And he's mentally-ill.

You've still got to leave him.
