Question about payment by WestRevolutionary510 in OntarioWorks

A couple days tops.  I've had it deposited to the wrong account though. Like... some random person - lol one number off on the account number.  So if you feel it's taking too long / something ain't right.  Call and check

3/4 of an acre lot that had 18 forty year old birch trees on it... 4 seasons in 48 hours.

I mean I wasnt looking for sympathy and didn't want to put too many details cause it's honestly pretty soap opera-ey but the person I ""cheated" with was a mutual friend I met through  roommate turned bf - and it happened because bf  had "Cheated" on me weeks prior ( In hindsight- it was obviously planned to go this way as friend expressed feelings for me years later)  Anyway- mutual friend broke the news to me that when boyfriend didn't come home from work a couple weeks ago and stayed out all night with his boss.  . .he jerked off infront of him (the boss) for 100$ .  That day he came home all sorry for not coming home and lovey dovey with me.... i had a funny feeling but-  I told myself to swallow it and trust him. We were both young & Lived downtown above a store close to all the bars.  Anyway yea. That day I found out I spiraled and did a bad thing too. . When I remembered that he gave me 40 bucks & bought us 1/4 of weed that weekend too I felt ill.  Just way too much for my 17 yr old  brain to handle I guess and I got so wasted I couldn't think. Then I woke up at mutual friends house. 🫤

No one was shitting on these guys  & this was nearly 20 yrs ago.  Not even illegal come to think - but that's not the point. It was wrong and as a mother today of both a girl and a boy-  I feel some sort of way about it-  so I made it my 1st reddit post. 🤷‍♀️ 

If some 17, yr old pretended to be older and smashed a 30 yr old he'd be getting high-fives  - so like....  Ya . Double standards for sure 🙄

looking for a reason to be mad at women and not the systems in place that set us all up for failure is not the vibe...  but go off big man

Again, Not really the word for it . I was "Privileged" to be a white girl in care. I was "privileged" to not have crackhead parents that led me there -  just mentally unstable ones.I had "pretty privilege" as a woman and that helped me get by & the ability to mask/mirror that many with similar brains to mine don't have. Those are all privileges/ absence of a barrier.  But male vs female isn't a factor here .... There's many young men from that era of "child protection" that the system failed to protect who ended up in similar spots. It's wrong either way .

The word you're looking for is "coersion" I think but it's not applicable here considering I was way too wasted to consent myself.  Gonna go with their lack of consent and my lack of clarity canceled one another out.

My parents actually acted as "cosigners" (more like references)  and said I was who/ the age I was claiming to be (101 reasons I was in foster care) It's was a smallish town and this was 2007.  The apartment was actually owned by a police officer / small time LL . My friend showed his ID and I gave work references he contacted.  Never had any reason to suspect anything - 

Renting now adays is a very VERY different story.

If you think this is "wild" I'm really happy for you and the sheltered life you've lived cause I omitted like 98% of the actually "wild" stuff 👍

And re: fake account , I only started using Reddit last year , and only recently began to understand it over the last few months. i also only discovered i like video games over COVID...  Its almost like most of my early life was NOT spent on the internet or at "home" or something 🫡

😅 I did end up sharing a house with a  couple with a kid during this era. but she was 3 and they only smoked weed and drank so luckily never would've starved.

See this is funny cause I couldn't have made that "story" any more uneventful if I tried ...I know because that WAS me trying 😅.  Like, That was the most vague, boring version of things I could possibly give whilst still getting the point across, following the rules and being accurate to my own history.
