Yeah that’s the one thing I’m rather lucky about down here, although it’s not the nicest of places, it’s also by no means bad, it’s not like the place has mold or is falling apart like you’d expect when you hear those prices. Where I moved from you’d be paying a minimum of $750ish for a 2 bedroom place, and you’d be in a bad area, and in a place that’s in bad shape.
And I’m 26, soon to be 27. Sadly my daughter lives back up north with her mother so I don’t get to see her often as I’d really like to, but at least since I’ve been down here I’ve been able to stay clean so I’m actually reliable, and consistent with her which is better then being inconsistently in her life, and only helping sometimes. I used to boost to support my habit for the most part so I always had clothes, toys, and stuff like that for her, but there’s A LOT more to raising a kid then just bringing her clothes, and toys, and seeing her a few times a week. Even though I see her less the time has MUCH more meaning since I’ve gotten clean.
