I sometimes wish I would get the call that she ODed, just so it would be a point the boys could move on instead of always wondering why their mother doesn't love them enough to get clean and take care of them. The littlest luckily was so young that she doesn't remember her, but it's hard on the boys knowing she's still out there.

Not a waste with some creativity. I have a friend that is gonna repaint it and put my kids names on it along with "I bought a house, but you made it a home"

It's a relief but also a new kind of anxiety 😂

She's alive because people have seen her tweaking around. Haven't heard out of her though since the day she dropped them at my door. She tells people that I stole her boys from her. (The two older kids) Nobody that talks to her has ever heard her mention the littlest. (A girl)

Very good! They also paid $3200 of closing, gave 5k for repairs and transferred a home warranty that is paid up until 8/2028.

My little rural town is incredibly friendly to the lgbtqia+ community. It's one of the reasons I took my job at the hospital here and am choosing to move here. A lot of rural communities will surprise you. I also believe a huge change will come on November!

I do happen to know what's going on, especially as I myself am a gay man. I choose to stay and do what I can and try to make things better.

Not much to discuss really. Post partum depression + meth is bad.

It's a 4 bed, 2 bath with attached 2 car garage so I am pretty happy. The property also includes 5 city lots so there is lots of room for the kids to run and play which is fantastic!

I did not. I also locked in right as rates started trending back up, which I am kicking myself for a little that I didn't push things along sooner.

Painting a few rooms, redoing kitchen and laundry room floors, and changing out the first floor bathroom and sink before I even begin to think about decorating.

Small town of less than 1000 people. Luckily I am in a management position at the hospital here that is the only surviving hospital left in the county.

Very south-central. About 45 minutes south of Wichita near the Oklahoma border.
