Polly

Send the gators north. All of them. Not one or two, but a whole brigade.
I'll email you privately in a day or two but I've not much confidence in the
human race at the moment. Prayers, good thoughts, warm hugs are needed for
my young friend/former student/sort-of-adopted-son.

Filing the paper work right now, Stephen. All I have to do to transport
them is to persuade DHS that we're going to open an endangered species
habitat in Alaska. Maybe they won't ask what the species is. Polly

Default Polly:Gators needed

Okay, for Dee and others wanting to know what is up, here goes. Because of
reasons you will soon understand, this will be cryptic and short on specific
details.

Former student graduated last year, showed up to help this year and I found
out about physical and emotional abuse of many years, being sent away by
parents, had to pay rent and food while in high school and parents raided
his account to pay for tickets to travel. Told him to move out when they
found out he likes boys, lived with my partner and I for three weeks because
of threatened abuse by father while mother and sisters gone. Crash course
in getting out on your own, budgeting, etc. Found boyfriend, had to explain
birds and bees, had to get 10 friends to extract his belongings from home
after a call to police, including bike which is transportation to job.
Still living with us then apartment, boyfriend has issues and moves into
studio apt for two days ends up being two weeks then bf hooks up with ex and
borrows money from my former student instead of picking up his assistance
money so I step in to pay rent and loan I co-signed. BF disappears, misses
dinner to talk about things, bf dumped, former student waffling, I'm trying
to point out the negatives of bi-polar, fetal alcohol syndrome, never having
a job and 21 years old and no diploma or GED are not bf material. Then a
week ago at work knocked out in the locker room and assaulted and something
for evidence was retrieved from toilet. Please read into this. Today was
necessary medical exam (LATE AND I'M ****ED), follow-up police statements
(and the police don't seem to want the clothing for evidence), and this week
we will be contacting the local crisis center to begin services normally
provided to women. Person is in jail, linked to two others in AK and one in
Seattle, supposedly confessed, but unknown and will probably make bail
tomorrow. (Gators needed at the jail door)

It has been a long slog since October. Often I was driving to work twice a
day, 31 miles one way, as I worked a morning shift and he worked a late
shift so I'd be up at 5 to get to work, he'd ride along, leave for work from
school, I'd either come home and then go back at 10 at night to retrieve
him, or stay after school until then to come home. He doesn't drive. Would
often need to talk and often until after midnight. Five or less hours of
sleep isn't quite enough. Now I'm driving clear across town, usually a 40
minute drive, to pick him up on his days off to spend with us. Obviously he
needs comfort and protection at the moment and someone to hold him while he
cries.

There's so much more, but I just can't write it all here. As it is I've
probably put too much out. I'm not ashamed to say that I hope the break up
lasts, he can be on his own for awhile, get his finances back in order and
get the counsling and other help he will have to have to work through the
events of last Monday and that a plea will occur so that there will not have
to be a trial.

I'm exhausted emotionally as well and physically am about drained. All this
on top of everything at work, too many changes and frustrations to
enumerate, and Bert has often held me at night as I've cried myself to sleep
from everything.

It portends to be another long week and probably more after that. We all
need hugs for sure. Thanks for listening.

Prayers and hugs on the way for you and Bert and your former student.
No-one should have to go through this kind of mess. You take care of
YOU now, as you can't take care of others if you break, and I know you
want to take care of this young man.

hugs, prayers, good karma and all that to you, your partner, and this
poor young man. I'm so very very sorry. The human race can be
*astards at times. I hope to heaven that this young man can also
eventually see the joy in life, and in people.

Prayers heading north to you and your friends to help you with this
problem. I'm also sending 2 small gators, 2 big snapping turtles, and then
a few owls to take over at night.
