I'm so sorry, Allyson. Going home shouldn't be like that.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Sorry I'm a total fucking downer.

Allyson, I'm sorry this trip has been so hard. That sense of displacement and not being long and being sort of...Home-lacking is sucky. I wish things were easier for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you know what you can do to get a home? Is it LA's fault? Is there somewhere else you should be, you think? With different people? Or is there a different way you can live in LA to make it work for you?

Thanks Kat. I wish I could have some cake with the twins. I wish I could sleep until my flight leaves on Saturday. I gave to figure out a way to make shit better. My brain is not cooperating.

I don't have any answers, ita. Just that general feeling that I'm failing, badly. Seeing the ex probably made it worse because it reminded me of that feeling of someone genuinely liking who I am. Everything feels jumbled and painful.

Tried, len. Got the speech, I know I was a terrible mother but please don't go. I can't handle it. I'm kind of just here because I feel awful that my mother is in mental and emotional pain. Making it worse would be harder than making myself feel better.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, man, Allyson. I am sorry that you are in such distress. Families can just break you sometimes. That rootless, aimless feeling happens to all of us and it's painful as hell, but it can often presage good changes. Really.

This is not your responsibility. If you are unhappy and in pain, and going to a hotel (but still seeing your mother at some point?) do what will help YOU, because you being all sad and bitchy is not actually going to help your mom anyway. Please put the oxygen mask on yourself before attempting to save others.
