Question by : i live in Michigan on the streets, woods, dumpsters, overpasses. I’m a 26 male with a nonviolent felony.?
I used to work in concrete then times got hard and i developed a habit which at the moment is not present. I have no family or friends anymore because of the choices I’ve made I’m white I’ve got a 7year old mixed son which stays with his mother. Every time I see him he begs me to take him forever. I got laid off in November 1 day short of getting unemployment. The following week I was told I had to leave and wasn’t able to take any of my belongings just what i could fit in a bag clothes only cause i fell behind on rent due to my hours getting cut i was only bring home $ 145wk after child support. they wont adjust it for me they started me off $ 5000+ in arrears and he lived with me up to the day before court. His mother is a drunk/coke addict and has told me several times that she will never work. That’s why she had kids to live off the child support she now has 5kids all different dads i’m the second dad. when she took my son from me I was not there I was at work. she threatened my daycare lady. I was a fool and never filed for custody in those three years we had an agreement i give her $ 150wk and my son lives with me she hurt me bad. I’m a fool. That was the start of my bad choices. At that time I worked 3 jobs supported 4 families. I started to use drugs for pain prescriptions that where prescribed to me when my hours got cut to 24hours a week and the other 2 companies downsized. I left state I went to Bozemen, MT got a job with my 1st call. Got a 2nd job a week later. It was December, I got there with $ 20 and half a tank in a truck that inhaled the gas I quit the pills but started drinking a lot. i t was just a very hard, ruff, cold vacation. For 2 and 1/2 months. Until i got a call saying the police were looking for me cause i had wrote some bad checks. To help keep a roof over my moms head and 8 of my siblings (i’m the oldest). I came back with a few grand ready to fight the case but to my surprise my mom had other plans i had given her the money for a lawyer in the morning i took a shower and was getting ready to go out as i walked out of the bathroom i was arrested. NO LAWYER NO LETTERS NO FAMILY my mom disowned me from that day forward its been 5years and she still blames me for everything. My brother crashed his car i was in it too he laid in a coma for 11months i walked away and left state the day after he awoke his 1st words to me where f-u we were supposed to die why did you pray he was my best friend its been almost 7years this coming march 31. After jail i spent 2 years looking for work i had no family “blood”. I did get involved with an “Angel” though she has been with me since i got out she tries so hard but she doesn’t know how to show feelings its like a brick wall. Its so pain full i can’t keep hurting her my addiction has ruined her credit. She lost her child because of me. She has never gotten high! Her family doesn’t like me. Because i cant get a job that doesn’t lay me off. Her mom doesn’t understand how hard it is. I put in over 900+ applications in, in the first 6months of my release. and didn’t get one interview. I got one job for 8hours until the boss said he doesn’t want 2 of him around i begged him for the job but he said nope. I’m really good at everything i do. I just continuously screw myself and her over by my bad decisions. I have seeked help it has been very pain full to be denied thousands of times. I need a fresh start i just finished detoxing again, “this is the 1st time i want to quit”. I know I have to let her go she’s back at her mom’s with no car and working 60hour weeks at a dead end job & i’m just making it worse living on the street her concern for me has diminished almost completely she needs to get her kid back, she can’t do that with me. NO I’M NOT A SICKO! OR A VIOLENT PERSON! I’m just a man that was forced to grow up way to quick I’ve been alone since i was 12years old. I went to high school, signed my permission slips paid rent and worked 65hours a week just so i didn’t get put into foster care. I feel like because of my bad decisions i deserve every thing that comes my way. But a small part of me really wants help to get on a better path. But i can’t do it myself. after being in jail my mind thinks differently, i may put myself there for the winter just so i can live. I’m not one for ever asking for help but i’m not a bad person and after being incarcerated this last time my mind thinks jumps to thing i would never think of doing to survive. I don’t know my biological dad to well i just met him. He’s been in prison more then not, I can’t be like that. I didn’t know him my whole life and I’m make the same mistakes he made. I’m not looking for any pity or oh poor me bull. If anyone can lend a hand and guide me to a better path i will forever be in your debt. Cause you’d be saving my life. If I g
