I am sorry for being so late, but I am sorry to hear of thy pain.

I know I'm late to this, but Meo, oh god, I'm so sorry. sad

I mean,I don't know what it's like to lose a father (mine's still alive — [Sincerity Mode unfortunately]), but losing a family member is a hard thing to go through. My grandfather (my mother's stepfather, actually) passed away in early November, and that hit me hard. He was the only decent grandparent I had, he was kind to me, and he considered my mom and I family in the fullest sense of the word. I was in shock for a while afterwards — I got to the hospital in time to see him and get to say my goodbyes, but it was frightening: he looked fragile to me for the first time in my life. He was struggling to breathe, slipping in and out of consciousness... Damn it. Even remembering that night is making me start to cry. Fuck it all...

Regardless, I kind of know what you're going through, Meo. If it's any comfort, it does sound like he had a desire to move on.

Would it be in bad taste for me to say that I wish in all earnesty that it had been my father in his place? That bastard is someone the world would be far better off losing...

...My dad isn't dead, yet.

...Unless somebody isn't telling me something.

Edit: Wait, that Meo... I hardly ever see anybody call him that.

Therapist doesn't want me to move in with my friend in Montana. Said it might be dangerous.

Yeah no shit. But moving in with ANYONE is dangerous. I've known him for five years...but like she said, she doesn't get a say. It's my life.

Oh yeah, moving in with people that you're on good terms with who will help you get back on your feet and be a supportive foundation for your continued growth and development is a horrible decision.

Yeah, move in with your family; like your mother! She's family, so she has to be cool, right?

Facepalm.

Man, you would think after all the stuff you've been through and after all the people you've communicated with, that most of 'em would be on the same page by now.

It makes sense what she is saying, even if it is slightly disagreeable. Friends are not always reliable.

Well her argument is that I don't know him, I just know what he types.

Right. Because people in "real life" never lie...oh wait.

I lived my life in fear for almost 17 years now. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. If it's a screw up, fine, I'll take the blame. But I'm not going to throw caution to the wind and have sex and drugs and shit. I'm moving in with a friend and paying rent for a year until I'm ready for college.

People who mainly communicate in real life seem to be unable to understand how it is possible to trust people without ever seeing their face in person.

I can understand your therapist's viewpoint because it crossed my mind too. Montana is also a very big state—you'd be pretty much stuck there if anything were to happen and you couldn't transport yourself by car or plane.

It's just one more person caring about you, Tenny, and that's not something to be reviled just because you don't agree with them.

I think that if you know this guy, you should definitely go move in with him.

I ask because my grandparents live in Montana, and depending on where you move to, I can ask them what there is to do and stuff near there.

I'm still going to weigh my options but yeah..

Also apparently the check I'll be getting each month will be a little over $1k. Which is..why Dad's search history shows he researched income after suicide...

...Um, I went and pre-ordered a game today. Wanted to have something fun to do and junk. My emergency fund is a little over $300 right now. I can keep adding to that...

Next week I just need to start the filing process for emancipation.

Do tell us all how that is once you get it. I might get it, seeing as I'll be updating my PC for Star Wars The Old Republic anyway.

When you move, are you driving? If so, holler at me if you happen to pass through an Indiana city called Terre Haute. It's on Interstate 70. You'll probably go through Louisville instead, but it's worth mentioning.

I expect he'll fly.

If you go full road trip, you should hit up Indianapolis, and wherever it is in Illinois Maddy lives.

Hey, if you move near it promise me you'll go to Yellowstone (if you haven't already been). Most beautiful place on earth.

As I said, are you moving near the capitol? Or over in west Montana? Saying you're moving to Montana is like saying you're moving to Alaska; there's a HUGE difference between one end of the state and the other.

Fuck Gangwon.

FYI, it's a kind of a self-deprecating humor referencing how people from my region don't get along with other region's people.

In a more serious note, why there?

I dunno. Just wanted to name a part of South Korea that isn't Seoul or Busan.
