    I knew to go retrieve the bottle bag for her, I never asked what was in it and she didn’t offer. It was I little Velcro bag that had long cloth things on either end for her service dog to pick up with his mouth from either side to pull out of her purse or bag so I never saw the actual pill bottle(s). Just a quick, if something goes down I need you to grab this bag for me and shove it into my right hand. I said you got it and that was kind of the end of it. Guess I figured if she wanted to talk about it more she would have initiated a discussion. She always got questions and pestering about her service dog being around as it was already so I kind of felt like being a good friend to her was just being someone that was there for her without all the questions. I haven’t talked to her in years though so maybe not, idk.

    I had a friend whose service animal was trained to get her pill container from her purse or bag and bring it to her if she collapsed or otherwise called for them. Not sure what they were, never really asked or talked about it since she never initiated the topic but it was apparently sufficiently life threatening if she were to lose stability in a manner where she couldn’t take her medicine shortly after. I only really knew because there were some rooms her service animal was not authorized to enter and I would fulfill that role for her in those situations.

    I completely understand bad parents, I’m no contact with mine for much different reasons so I can’t directly relate but I can empathize a bit I think. I appreciate you sharing your story and I’m glad nothing happened with that gal while you were so young. Thank you for sharing the story, feels kind of comforting in a way that also makes me feel like shit for feeling comfort in hearing about others stories/situations.

    The scarier part to me I think is that you absolutely could have. My cousin was in middle school in the 90’s, he graduated high school in 2001 at 18 for context. My aunt and uncle were divorced and would drop him off at the airport to fly to each other on the other side of the country. He was like six or seven when they started and it went on for a decade until his dad moved back close to graduation.










  • I’m so far removed from the sims, I only have the first one. So if you bomb everything does it get rebuilt over time? Is the game worth getting into a recent version? I’ve stayed away because it sounded like they started charging for a bunch of crap after buying the game but I could also use a time sink kind of game.
