So, I have just spent the last three hours trying to find resources that might help us. [View all]

And, let me tell you... there are none. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

When the website dedicated to providing information on assistance starts off by saying: 'Seek out relatives and friends.", you know things are beyond bad.

I did not ever consider the fact that our society was going to collapse within my lifetime when I was a young lad looking towards the future. Much less that it would wait until I was old enough to be incapable of handling a 'survival' scenario.

I am so sorry, honey. I failed you from the moment we got together. We were duped by a spoiled little nepo baby and now we are facing the void. I tried to warn you. I was too timid because I did not want to upset you. He was your 'best friend'. You indicated as much. You defended him when I complained. I knew. My gut knew. I let us down by not raising enough of a stink about my concerns. Now, you are suffering so much because there is no one else. You only had one family member and that one has gone crazy. Now, the person who I thought would be there when I am gone turned out to be a turd. I had already lost my family and we moved to a place where no one wants to have anything to do with me. But, I thought you had someone up here. I am all you have. What a joke.

My old friend was right: People really do suck. The ones that don't are so few and far between these days that it is almost not worth trying to form friendships with anyone. I guess I suck as well, since no one wants to do anything with me. I can't blame them. Who wants to hang out with a failure?

Thanks for letting me vent. Time is growing short. Let's hope Gaia will decide to help us. That is about the only place help will come from, I guess.
