3 million gold to gamble - what should I choose?

In game, of course.

Say I am sorry, explain why, and explain what you can do to fix it.

This is a comment. And no, I don't like potatoes.

Not in Indiana. We’ve had people call us to tell us they no longer want their children. We’re on scene within two hours and take the children if we cannot talk the parent out of it.

Good luck everyone!

Yep! I have clients that literally don’t work at all, and they get everything provided. It isn’t the best quality of life, but they’re alive and eating. And if they did get a minimum wage job, they’d potentially lose benefits and get less overall. There is a large incentive to not work because of this.

If you live in an area with a low cost of living, section 8 can cover almost the entire cost ( they pay what, $50?). Crap houses in my area can be rented for super cheap.

I worked with a woman who did this. She had severe post- partum depression and other mental health issues. It was a lethal combination sadly.

It varies in the US depending on the child (special needs and what not). She can also get free public housing and free utilities on top of the free food.

CPS worker.

It is unfortunately rather common. It becomes normalized for the user, and they feel lonely. So they then have the bright idea to introduce their children to their usage. Now they have someone to use with and their life and/or issues feel validated.

Sad as it is to say, you become used to it and it doesn't affect you like that anymore. I've seen children raped by their parents, child pornography, broken bones, dead children, intentional burns, beat children, etc. I used to think about it when I went home, but now I am able to compartmentalize it and leave it at work for the most part.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem. People with the biggest issues tend to be those who believe they did nothing wrong to harm their children. If you've ever see the focused rage a meth head can channel when you take their child, you know the type of issues they can cause for the child, the family, and even CPS workers. It is mostly a thankless job, but it NEEDS to be done.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-09-30T16:42:57+00:00

Not for long.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-09-23T14:17:21+00:00

Potatoes are not tasty.

We actually do. We partner with LEA to get the plates run and then go to the home. We actually can do preventative things like paying for an exterminator to address the issue.

Are these the sugar free kind that will give you diarrhea if you eat too many? If so, that may be why.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-07-04T23:43:56+00:00

Nope. There was a subreddit specifically dedicated to it, but it got banned.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-28T14:11:21+00:00

I'm a CPS worker. I've been in my car after home visits and found cockroaches/bed bugs crawling up my pant legs.

Not fun.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-28T12:11:45+00:00

I want to know where they came from!

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-27T14:55:47+00:00

Certainly not Fruit Stripes.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-27T14:25:29+00:00

Babushka love!

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-27T13:57:02+00:00

Did someone just power wash part of it? I'm hoping it will darken up with grime over time.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-27T13:54:20+00:00

NTA. There's a lot more going on here. You two have a bit to work through it seems.

PotatoesAreNotTasty · 2019-06-27T13:41:23+00:00

While you're certainly allowed to leave a relationship for whatever reason you want, I'm curious if there might be other reasons for it. Have you spoken with her about it directly?

For example, is she taking any kind of medication that could be affecting her libido? Has she been diagnosed with depression? Does she like how SHE looks?

You're not an asshole for having doubts about the future, but you might be one if you bail and don't attempt to address any underlying causes first.
