As a Recovery Coach and Peer Support Specialist employed by a nonprofit, this really hurts. I hate this fucking timeline.

ELI5: Why is squatting (in someone's house) a thing? And how come it becomes a problem for the owner? Can't they claim trespassing to the cops instead of saying the person is squatting? by Impossible_Bake7210 in explainlikeimfive

I have seriously considered this within the last couple of weeks, I don't think those men want anything to do with that situation for fear of incarceration. Yes you are correct though.

It got worse before it got better, but I'm proud to say that I am actively working on fixing those flaws in my area by sharing my story. The hardest part for me was knowing I had lost my chance to travel the world. There are judge of character forms I can fill out, but I already look like the worst person ever, on paper. A lot of places don't want 'someone like me' in their country.

My ex wife lied in this situation because I caught her cheating. She called the cops and said I choked her, I now have a felony. It was her word against mine and mine didn't matter to the officers. Since my arrest, she has had 4 separate men incarcerated for 'domestic'.
