[Faith-talk] updates on my current living situation

[Beth Taurasi]

Dear List,
It has been confirmed. My boyfriend's not so dear mother said in an SMS 
message that she wishes him never to contact her again. Well, obviously, 
he's been used as an ATM machine. This young man is 31 years old, shows 
potential skill as a drummer, and I enjoy playing with him. We did a 
couple songs and just jammed out on the keys and voice and drums. We 
really do come together, the chemistry is there, but alas, either family 
is saying we're "rushing it". Well, we could have waited if not for the 
boyfriend's mom messing things up. I was flatly accused of interfering 
with this man's family. He seriously wasn't interfered with, and I had 
nothing to do with it. My dad does not see the present me. In his mind, 
I'm still the girl who repeats behaviors of the past, and I'm so sick of 
this pattern. My boyfriend says he won't leave me, but will he not? I 
hope no. But seriously, I'm sick of this crap. We haven't had one 
bickering fight over stuff, and I kind of would like to see how he 
handles some bickering. But still, he has been able to put up with me 
for a while. But my parents are tracking stuff on FB. I'm considering 
blocking them. All of my family except my cousin Crystal will be 
blocked. That's one thing, but ... I'm seeing no support for us. But 
while we have no family support, we don't know what churches will 
support an unmarried blind couple where the female has mental issues. I 
was considering a lot of options. I don't want to lose this guy, and he 
swears he won't lose me. We want to get out of this hell hole, this 
building, in less than thirty days, less than fourteen if we can help 
it. We must. HUD rules. And we are trying to get a hold of case 
management orgs like Catholic Charities. But does anyone truly care! We 
know that God is there. But what interpretation of God's word is there? 
The mother abandoned him, and she got smart with him, and yet my father 
says she will take him back. Bull! She does, and I won't have someone to 
talk to again. Ever.
Prayers are needed, folks. I'm just ranting here because I just feel 
completely alone with him in this fight to get recognized as valid. Our 
relationship is valid, we love each other. But He came to me first. He 
knew I would love him, so he came to me. He ran from home too early, we 
get that, but we're serious. We want housing. What will happen if we 
have to go to a homeless shelter? I can't have things stolen from me, 
especially his jambay drum which is worth more money than we can afford 
to spend!
We regret bothering you all, but please I ask God's protection on us 
during this time of need. We want to be a couple. We will not be separated.
Beth
