Hesperis,

   I see you have written a long rant and frankly I don't have the time for it. You seem to have made up your mind and aren't interested in what others (who have actually had struggles to work through and who have had life experiences of their own) have to say. I think Mudcat is a great source of support but at some point you have to get off the pity pot. NOBODY here is going to be able to give you the complete answer to your problem as there isn't a soul here who walks in your shoes and it's highly unlikely that you can give a clear picture of all the factors. Have you seen a social worker? Have you at least helped yourself that much? I don't want an answer but honestly, I don't think you have. I think you need a case worker in a big way but that's entirely up to you. They are there to help but I get the feeling that instead of help, you want attention and a handout. *shrug* That's your business.

Get some help for yourself and maybe you will get to school. An education is a great thing and I am not trying to discourage you from that at all but I do think you need a HUGE reality check.

Rant on if you wish, I'm not interested in reading what you have to say as you clearly are not interested in helping yourself....only a handout.

Michelle
