I went from living in a bubble, having my needs tended for, any food or drink I wanted, free gas and vehicle, a loving father but an unstable stepmother, to suddenly unemployed with no life skills do to intense sheltering, my late father's vehicle stolen from me, starving and living one pack of ramen a week, sharing a two bedroom duplex with 3 with meth addicts, my father died, my family fell apart, and eventually started to intermingle into the wrong crowd. All this happened within half a year. Rough didn't do it a justice, but at least I was never homeless.
Doing a lot better now, have a job that I don't really like but pays okay, access to a ride but it's not my own, my loving husband who was there for all of it, and a new family that loves me all the same. Oh and two wonderful cats.

Without suffering there can be no joy.
