as i said IP #1
A LOT of the time they get some help for a while then the advocates and
social workers don't show up because the decided they don't get paid
enough or don't really care about their JOB, and doctors start leaving
them without the treatment or
medications because they went on vacation and never even rescheduled an
appointment or transportation to the clinics they need doesn't show up
and they get the blame and get their benefits cut out off...They are
constantly bullied and beaten down by just about everyone including
others who are in their situation and steal their medications and
whatever else they can get their hands on, and by police and staff at
shelters and "decent" people who say they are just milking the system
and complain that they need t get a job...
If they
are going to get help it needs to be a safe place to sleep at night and
regular treatment... They can't be coping with trying to beat the mental
illness (which is often due to violence or prolonged stress) or drugs
while fending for themselves in a life or death situation all the time,
and trying to do the loophole dances the system puts them through so
they can just kick them back into the streets
I know
many kinds of people from many walks of life... but this has taken my
attention more than any others because people simply do not understand

INVISIBLE PEOPLE 2
Susan
Wyman Because they feel no sence of pride when someone else does it all
for them... It makes them feel like children but they have been through
too much to go back to being treated or viewed as a child (in any sence
of the word), They have lived in a
warzone which most other "decent" people really can't relate to...I'm
sure he felt guilty for taking what you had to give...
They
just need to be in a safe place and able to get the treatment and
guidance they need without all the hassles and threats all the
time...and to be treated with respect, as people who are survivors of
the war they are living or have survived so far.
Most
of the time whatever money they get goes right to rent on their shelter
and their food stamps go to a program where they cook and serve the
food in a cafeteria and the quality can be really bad and the amount
really scant... different cooks every month or so..They don't get to
choose what they will eat day to day... They are treated like
prisoners... Most of time having to go through signing in and out at the
front door ... ( Which is understandable, but to eat what what they
want and need ...maybe buffet style with choices... would be nice)
They
need to have a few dollars left after paying the rent to get the other
things they need... and just because they are poor doesn't mean they
don't want and need the basic things that everyone else has... including
toilet paper, and dish soap. ..
You probably
brought him into your home like he was a dependent child and one of the
family...but it was too much for him... to much the opposite extreme,
all at once... from "strangers" He felt as uncomfortable there as you
would living the life he has led... These things need to be transitioned
slowly and steadily... with a safe hassle free environment, regular
treatments with no loopholes, and some money left after the rent is
paid... and a lot of respect for the fact that they are able to survive
things average people have never experienced and never will
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~as AND AS I SAID ON HVW ...
PS ... GET A JOB... GO TO COLLEGE... MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOURSELF.. uh yeah
I
had a friend who struggled to pay her way through college continuing to
raise her kids, to become a teacher and in the end, she ended up as a
salesclerk. She is very intelligent and got good grades but there were
no job openings and later if she wanted to try again, she had to have
more college because things had changed. She couldn't just move and try
to reorient the kids and herself (alone) and risk that not working
out... nor could she even afford to make a move
...
and another intelligent, decent woman, who went to college and
struggled through, being told they had job placement and she was
guaranteed a job when she got out... but all she got was bills and a
minimum wage job ...at least that's how it stands 10 years after her
graduation, with good grades...
And both of these
women came from middle class families but ended up divorced when their
husbands decided to pick up with a younger woman and take off, because
they said worked hard and wanted to have some fun and someone to go
along with them ... and this is the kind of thing the kids of this world
are going through
This is one-sided because I am
not saying how it is for men, but often times, you can just insert he
and him instead or she and her
