Randy, I know you believe this but it is not correct or factual.

You see, no one can make you say or do or feel something you are not

already willing to say or do or feel.

Yes, poverty places certain limitations on your life such as what

neighbourhood you can live in based on how much you can afford for

rent, but even that is not a given if you are resourceful and able to

cobble together other situations in order to improve your living

conditions.

I know what I am talking about here, Randy. I'm not someone who has

lived her life only knowing financial stability, no strife, and which

silver spoon to use at each meal.

Poverty does not control your life and poverty does not give others

the ability to control your life. Only you give poverty the power to

control your life if this is what you wish to do.

I would strongly urge you to speak with your medical practitioner and

have him set up a few appointments with a counselor to help you

through your issues, a social worker to help you access services of

which you have no prior knowledge and any other professionals that

are able to assist you in moving forward out of poverty.

Randy, if you're alone and hurting, you should stick and around and

keep talking rather than pulling back inside yourself where you will be

even more alone.
