So I have seen the comments, and this PSA is JUST for all you nasties.

I know it sounds like I'm laughing at my situation. That's because this is how I cope with any sort of stress. It's either that or drown myself in completely mundane and useless tasks. I'd rather laugh some of my stress off than robotically mask my emotions. Get over it. Moving on!

I am VERY well aware that my husband and I made this mess ourselves. We acknowledge it and will never deny it (at least I won't, he still tries to). We each made a bad decision the day this started. You don't need to tell me. Thank you, NEXT!

I will NOT absolve DHS of any wrongdoing on their part, because when a judge gives you a direct order, YOU FOLLOW IT. We have to the best of our ability, they haven't bothered. My worker is terrible at his job and shouldn't be in social work.

The reasons I listed for the non-progress are all valid. The big financial blow came from our SNAP renewal not being completely on time and then me not being able to get mine because I was in university (??) even though my husband got his portion. We didn't just lose our phones. Food became an issue and our electric was cut a few times. ALL because I wanted to get my degree. Even with one friend working and the other out of a vehicle thanks to thieves, transportation was a non-issue until COVID flared again. Done caught that shit ONCE before it became serious, sickest I've ever been in my life.

My cousin's house was the best place for my children, hands down. My worker completely ruined that. I love my brother and all, but travel time is a factor and my kids didn't have to go anywhere. We were able to travel to them. My cousin encouraged us to come through as often as we could, but then COVID.

THIS PREGNANCY WASN'T PLANNED. The DEPO shot (got it as a precaution after birth) had messed up my hormones so bad that my period was 10 days LATE before I even tested. And abortion was considered a possibility despite my personal views because I wasn't fucking happy. I chose to take responsibility for it. I'm still not thrilled but shit happens.

If there are ANY questions, JUST ASK ME NICELY. I will try to answer them the best I can.

That is all.
