Allyson, what type of phone do you have? Most of them, you can copy/paste texts, and there are probably apps that let you grab them.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Allyson no one thinks you are doing anything for attention. If you need to dump things in a less public place to someone new, my email rlboston14 at gmail is open all the time.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Allyson, you are carrying a big burden. We honestly don't mind helping with that load. Share as much as you need.

I may have to seize the cat.
Kiba, that Ph.D sounds awesome. In retrospect, I think I should have been a librarian, but now it seems there are no jobs.I think it's never too late to start. The job market is rough but I think that's true in a lot of industries. If you want to get a look at the library job market in depth, here's a link. It's not quite as dire as it might seem at first, but it is much easier on people who can move easily.
One of the questions in the interview was, "Why this school?" and after all of the because it's the best, because I love this faculty, because I felt so good about getting my MSLS here answers, I moved on to, "Also, because I already live here."
Allyson, I am so sorry that you have these burdens. And so grateful to you for opening up about them. I hope it lightens the load to be able to share.
Beverly, such a beautiful thing to say to Allyson.

Mostly lurking...
I think mine was a 4s when I did it too. for Mac. For PC
Also, if you back up your phone to the cloud, you can choose to save your texts too.

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
Thank you so much Beverly.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Allyson, please share as much or as little as you need to here and with those around you. That is a difficult to carry alone. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thrive to spite them
Allyson, if you need to talk about things so it will help you, that's not being an attention whore or making it all about you. It's what you need and we're here for you.
I understand if you don't want to discuss things that you consider private but please talk to someone.

Allyson, here's a Wired article on saving your iPhone texts: [link]
It's two years old, so I'd suggest having Kristen verify that it's all good still, but it sounds like backing them up and exporting them is pretty easy.
Of all the various thoughts I've been having since Monday night, the one I keep looping back to is worrying about you and how you're holding up, because I know your last year has been beyond rough. So, yeah, my email is always open, too.
