    The thought of my baby nephew having to go through even a fraction of the challenges I’ve had to live through in this sick world just breaks my fucking heart.

    The thought of that sweet innocent child exposed to any of the dangers I’ve had to face makes me die inside.

    And unfortunately I’m still living through those same dangers and trying to stay alive myself. So if and when he faces those dangers I’m not sure what resources I have to help him, since I apparently don’t have the answers.

    I think I’ve only got prayers left at this point.

    The one thing I can do if I die is at least leave him what I have in a will.

      Miss Seagoon is an adult and I still worry sick. She should be ok tho as the fam will have left her enough to at least have a home.

        I wish only the best for Miss Seagoon: happiness, or at the very least peace and contentment.

        Doesn’t really put food on the table or provide shelter but I guess it’s better than nothing.

          There’s a life hack where you can buy food from a super market and just put the seeds from the food in dirt then boom, free food. Unless you’re doing exotics, they’re very low maintenance to the point where keeping them under control and not having too much food is the hardest problem.

          Also, there’s nothing stopping you or your nephew moving abroad for a far lower cost of living. South America is beautiful, Japan has cheap houses with land, and so on.

            Parents might have an issue with me abducting their child and taking them to a foreign country lol but it’s an intriguing idea.

              Lol, I meant teach them that they have options and doors that are always open unless they have a criminal record. I’m an immigrant and moved here on a whim and grow food, you should try growing food it tastes like love. When your nephew is 18 they can do whatever they want providing that they have someone like you supporting them that it’s OK to do that.

              Partner and I are currently weighing up moving to Europe, but I’m tempted by San Fran or Seattle for the utterly insane pay. Doesn’t mean Australia isn’t my home or where my heart is, and Australia is not even my country of birth.

              You can do that too, today if you wanted.
