You're getting something by going back every time, right?

I initially went back because I thought there'd be better resources in the city, but I stayed for all the reasons you listed.
Here in rural NH things are a little different than down south in the cities. For example in the ER here they kept asking me if I was on uppers and were whispering to each other "she's got track marks, watch out." They'd just ask at my dad's ER once, take a drug test, and wouldn't think twice about it. I'm applying for housing soon so I can have my own place, but I need to be working and it takes ~7 years for that to go through.
