[quote:Anonymous Coward 82962781:MV81MTE4MDM2XzkzODk2MzA2XzJCQTBCQjI1] [quote:Keilani:MV81MTE4MDM2XzkzODk1NjkxXzcwNzhGOENB] OP, I don't know what to say really. Wandering for 40 years, this guy is completely unstable!!! No one wonders for 40 years without being unstable. Also, missing all teeth, MANY times that is a meth problem!!! PS, drug addicts will NEVER tell you're they're doing. They will always tell you they QUIT or have never done the stuff before. Trust me, I know, unfortunately, had people close to me that were users, they were always "quitting". You could have helped him WITHOUT bringing him to your home!!!! Stay safe OP!!!!! [/quote] People lost all their teen thousands of years before meth, the man might be unstable but that doesn't make him dangerous. I guarantee 100% posters in this thread wouldn't do the same as OP. Myself included. [/quote]
Original Message
Life is so fucking unfair and our society so sick.
He's drug and alcohol free, as in never drank or did drugs.
Never went to prison or even jail.
His father murdered his Mom in front of him then suicided. He was raised in a good foster home, but obviously had developmental and stability issues.
Only bad habit is puffs of cigars. He has mesothelioma from doing demo construction in his youth. He was told he should be ok and live at least another 20 years if he can stop the smoking. Other then that he's functional.
He's wandered place to place for 40 years. Lost all his teeth years ago.
Monday we will try to find out what we can do to get his Birth C and ID back so he can get on disability or SS. He's 62 and has nothing. He can and wants to work, but needs the ID. He may need to be on a med but he seems totally fine without anything.
Thank goodness it's summer so he can be outside. I'm going to see if I can find him a tent on Craigslist, the damm things are so expensive.
He needs to contact his step parents who are still alive and live in Co Springs. If they say he can come home for help to get the ID's , I may drive him there.
Fucking Greyhound wants 200 bucks to go from Nashville to Denver. Insanity.
I'm in no better shape then he is emotionally. Both of us fell through societies cracks. He actually has better resources than I do, money or not.
