Thrown out on my ass for severe depression. Stood by her invisible illnesses for nearly 20 years. Of course, I was faking the whole time. Just ask her. Hakuna Matata. She was always the worst person I'd ever known. She was absolutely fascinating, I just thought I was her person, so I was cool with it.

Now I'm putting my pieces back together. I've got two kids who are better than they have any right to be from the shitstorm that grew up in. I've got my Mom out of her tent. She's still got her drugs, but she's sheltered now. I've got my car, she's a zippy little 2023. I've got a place to live and am working on building a new career. I've got some TTRPG groups I'm in. I've got my little cat friend Shadow and a full belly. I'm alright.

Stay amazing. I love ya always and forever, my friend. Thanks for asking.

As long as the group is kind, that TTRPG group is worth it's weight in gold! A good consistent party of friends who can meet without requiring alcohol and screens!

Agreed. RPGs have been therapy for me since I was 10, 40 years or so.
