This is what I do
I work all day, I come home to find out that my neighbor is having issues with her son, who lives in her house still, and his on and off again relationship with a woman "J".
I was asked by my neighbor "D", who happens to be in Illinois at this time working, if I could get J out of her house. As J is a little crazy and hooked on dusters and makes her son "R" nutty. D wires me some money to get J a room for the week. I tell them I have the money, I can do what ever needs to be done, just had to wait it out to see when one was ready to get rid of the other. This relationship is like fire and gasoline.. just bad, burning, angry fire. J knocks on my door, I go and get her stuff and take her to a hotel. She has freezer burns on her face from the duster cans, such a pretty girl and she looks like someone poured battery acid on her face. I don't judge people, we all have problems, some are just more severe than others. So we chat a bit and I drop her off, I pay for the room and she will be there for a week. I go back home, and R comes to talk to me, and I tell him of the conversation that J and I had. She claims to love him, but I told her love is kind, gentle, caring, not hurtful, and they have a lifetime of hurts that would take another lifetime to heal. When talking to my neighbor D, I told her the only thing I notice with these two people is that they think their issues are bigger and different than anyone else and that nobody understand them, or what they have been through. I have learned that we all have stories, we all have problems, and there isn't anything unique about the human condition, it's just what we decided to do with it that matters.
