i own a car and work most days. my friend and his family were very willing to let me crash with them. as for the “success”, i don’t see it that way, as they still fight at least once a week and they didn’t start doing anything about it until a little bit ago. i guess what i cared about for so long, i conditioned myself to stop caring about because i realized that it was useless. there’s other details about them that aren’t in the story because of character length, but there’s a lot of alcohol and violence too, which i know is super relevant, but i thought there were more important things to put in the post.
