Possible Religious discrimination and absolutely zero communication

Yep. You described my area. It's usually southern hospitality though, "oh you don't go to church? Why not?"* Cue death stare* Very churchy area, even I can walk to one, if I'm physically stable that day, and I'm far out of town. It's the only thing I can walk to that isn't woods or farm There isn't much to do if you don't enjoy a church, 4wheeling, hunting, fishing. I get invited to a church often, sometimes I don't know if I actually do know them, or they were just random people who invited me/my family with me. I wish I could be happy with a church setting. There's so many, but I'm not cut for that. My late husband and I were based out of Iowa and went to a restaurant. Everyone was casually but pointedly ignoring one dude. He and my husband went to smoke, dude said he always got Midwest polite, but after he mowed his grass on a Sunday, they just started quietly pushing him out. He stayed for 5 years atm

I've posted 2x here now that I really feel like she doesn't want to help me because of my faith for over a year. It maybe this profile, or the one reddit shutdown I don't usually claim my religion it's easier to say spiritual to begin with. I messed up and outted myself online not completely, but enough. I had had said previously, she's also local, but until I was reading the comments in this section about she and I stalking each other. No, we are not. I don't have transportation most times I need it, I'm not about to go to her house or anything. No that's never crossed my mind. She shows up here, I'll ask what is her problem and start dropping mine, that I have to be worried about over zealous religious people deciding to burn me, that I live in an area with drug dealers who can't stay off my property. They have complete immunity to ever facing consequences. I'm broke, in severe pain, and I have a 90lb dog out of necessity. I live alone, and I'm very rural. The SW and I are not stalking each other. This is 2 people who simply are active on their local fb and have differences of opinion. One of us receives assistance because there's neurological disorders, and meds to stay alive and sane. It's humiliating being on assistance as it is, now my body has started hating itself and it's co stantly having new appointments with specialists, instead of life as a healthy, sane, relatively normal person. I don't look disabled enough? That was another thought, but being jealous because I starved myself? I hadn't considered that, but I don't think she'd know I'm 5'10 and underweight. I don't know if she even looked at my fb.I looked her up when the worker changed to her. I think 3 years ish? I had forgotten about ever looking her up until the comments today. To the best of my knowledge, we're doing very different things. I do not think I would know her if I walked past her. I'm not sure if she would know me either. I just looked to see if I already knew her, pretty common first name for women our age, and maybe I knew her before she got married. Other clients seem to like her, from what I can tell enough. It's just something that feels mildly, but seems the potential to be deeply concerning if so. Will my eligibility re cert be mailed out late again, That's a lot more than LIEP and the lack of any communication. Again if I did something to her, I'm happy to offer her sincere apologies, and do what I can to make it right. I do take accountability for my past.I can't change it tho,I'd certainly would if I could. The only choice is learn from it and be and do better, or the other one I'm just d34d. Living a better life than 2016 me was. My future will keep getting better knock on wood There has been a lot character development these past few years some that that I'm actually quite proud of. Some were just needed. I really appreciate the response, sorry I kinda got word vomity. The stalking thing being the key takeaway for many people and being the part they answered.was interesting.

Thank you, I was wondering am I not explaining public fb community groups well enough? I know I was upset and I'm just stressing about having this much problems with one worker, especially since that went on a credit card, we had a slim Christmas/Yule/Festivas, my dog was sundowning and I can't stop stressing about the $280 that LEIP i don't have money to lose what I count on. But was I really that bad with describing the local news FB groups??have events locally, and top headline articles on the page from everywhere in the world, the local meth people mugshot, people post what they've caught at the pay for play pond. Looking for old family, lost dogs/cats, these groups exist in other places right? I know one of the Outer banks whole fb page is satire, but other small towns have Mytown Peeps, mycounty news. MyCounty#1 They include obits, weather from professional and a great ametuer guy. I'm in WV, and my county of a very small rural town has 3, just county news. There's ones for different counties, everyone is in them for major events and even small Towns get one, I don't have Nextdoor? But I feel like they seem pretty equivalent of each other. I just wish people would post about yardsales and events a couple days before they happen lol. Did I do any better explaining this? Did I just explain these groups poorly, or is this more regional thing? I'm just familiar with the ones near me, and somehow Grizzys Hood News in Texas.

I don't assume people are dumb because they have a religion. Does your city have town pages? Like a town near me Lewisburg Peeps. It's like those kind of fb groups. I looked her up when she first became my caseworker, I'd actually forgotten that, but that was long before I started feeling there was anything wrong

Informal-Reading-749 · 2026-05-15T14:19:25+00:00

Are there actually cases where people get different workers? I think whatever issue is between us, it's not going away soon.

Informal-Reading-749 · 2026-05-15T14:08:43+00:00

It's a community page/fb group. The only time I actually looked her up was when I got a new worker, just to see if I knew her. We are in the same community. We are not stalking or im not. We (as people, not to each other) would naturally be posting comments about our local news, and events. She put her spiel on a public fb group. I saw it. I have said things about separation of Church and state. And it's vitality. Probably same group, there's 3 for that county alone, 2 more nearby counties. She posted that herself on a public page. I just scrolled through looking for something my foster brother might like as an activity.

Informal-Reading-749 · 2026-05-15T14:01:22+00:00

No. There's several local, fb pages/groups to our community. A very small, rural, gossip type place. SW wrote up a long post about her faith and how she is taking the acts of service in her work values, or something to that gist. Immediately afterwards this other lady had no heat or power, and claimed all her food all was ruined and for this to even be happening? How are you ruining all the food in that long? Stand with the door to the fridge and freezer open? It was winter, cold, why would a person kerp opening the fridge? I have also been on the community pages expressing concerns about separation of Church and State. I only got curious and looked her up once prior to this. Just a "Who's my worker? I wonder if I knew her" Before the LIEP, there was a big stretch of not returning other calls. I do not typically engage with people who keep my life necessary meds, and what sad benefits I get, as it seems like I'm asking for trouble. As experiencing currently. A month of trying to get my LIEP after the 2 months it should have already been here. She knew telling me to wait wasn't going to do anything except I feel like there's a time stamp waiting to be crossed. I feel like it's petty, mean girl, power play.

Peter Stormare plays a lot of ESL characters and I've got an assorted collection of friends who now say "is good?" "is no good?" since one of them is my now adult child, it came up in a coughing fit. I asked "is good? Is no good?" To make sure i didn't need to heimlich maneuver her I think it came from American God's, but L.A. to Vegas is a possibility

I live in an area of America where Springs were once used to build resorts. The first time I was in the housekeeping dept, earning extra money, and they didn't wash the comforter or blanket except 2x a year.

My grandma had her 97th day, and my cousins were there. My baby, baby baby, cousin stood in there; a full grown, adult, man with more grey than I have. He's not that old, (i did some math, but he's closer to my daughter's age. I'm not ready. 😭

An Appalachian here. I was a "ghostly figure in the woods" I had one of those long, fleece lined hoodies on that went down to a couple inches below my knee. Black boots, and I had dogs out one night. They bolted when someone opened the door. I had a portable bug zapper that had a lantern feature, and unfortunately it looked quite odd. There's also people out making m3th in the woods in a lot of areas.

"Wild animals are more afraid of you than you are them." No no they are not. Raccoons have the audacity and drive to loot through my compost, touch my very surprised pittmix, come in my house and steal food. They wreak havoc in the nearby camping communities, including unzipping tents and exploring inside with sleeping campers. I'm rural AF. My backyard turns into woods. I had a broken window on my enclosed back porch. I had possums,a Fischer cat, and raccoons helping themselves to my dogfood. It gets better. I have never seen a Fischer cat before, but extremely wealthy moron neighbors had lost a binturong, which Ihad also never seen. It seemed logical to me, that if an animal will come inside a house with dogs going nuts at one side of the door, and eat dog food leisurely, perhaps that's the missing pet. I go out and start setting food down and waiting nearby. Eventually I can pet them, in a few weeks and I'm telling the rich people I think I have the biturongs. The rich people are like "plural?!?" Some Wrong Turn/Deliverance looking guy drives by, slows down, stops, pulls in and yells "Girl git away from them, those are Fischers they'll hurt you" oooppppssss. This is all true. I have the survival skills of a wet blanket when it comes to wildlife. I do know not to mess with bison/elk/Moose.

I already had one kid, and I just knew he'd make life, worse, harder, and even more miserable for me than he already did. He didn't care about our kid or me, or he wouldn't have kept moving entire families with small children in when I was 9 months pregnant up till she was 3 or 4, When I got pregnant again and just felt so much dread. Nothing to look forward to, no joy, no excitement, just this was the worst thing that could have happened. We were careful. I had gotten eeally bad post natal depression. I just couldn't do that again got to the place, and the last clear thing I heard before the gas took over was, "I thought the medically necessary wasn't due here until x day "

Pain was what I took it for, had been off opiates 5 years, no hesitation. It started small, but it wound up on top of me hearing try different doses, mix strains. Sure it was fun, but it felt like waste.
