Hey, I know how you feel, I'm going through some rough ideological and financial times myself. It is hard to put down your own roots in life only to find them yanked up by money-grubbing bastards at the utility and credit companies. It's usury.

We haven't publicly divorced their values, but I assume that familial love can transcend a few of those ideological differences.

You are pulling your share of the weight, right? It's good to feel responsible for your own family but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

And you're right. No drugs to dull the pain. I am in complete agreement. Drugs are for the happy times, to celebrate and feel alive.
