Thank you so much for the kind words, but what I need is help. Not condescending bullshit..

Kim, you have not been a burden to me. Directing your anger to those who love you and who have supported you in many ways (mainly Kay, Karen and Mom) is sure unfair, though. I know you must feel like you can't catch a break but you asked for help and we gave you links for resources that may be able to help you find housing and medical help. I believe this is something Kay tried to help you with last summer but you shot her down then also.

Have you tried the VA for any help? Maybe they can give you some immediate help with emergency housing and then help find something more long-term. Or perhaps AA would have some recommendations? You did not say in your original email what you have tried so far.

Love, Kris

I'm so sorry to have been such a burden on on you. Physical pain and emotional fear invokes anger according to the law of the Lancaster's. Best wishes to you and yours..

Kim,

What was that quote about acceptance? I know that Karen, Kay and Mom have tried to support you over the years in more ways than the home-cooked meals they bring you. And many times you have sent nice emails thanking them for their kindness. But as soon as you hit a low point, it seems that you cannot stop yourself from verbally striking out at them with a mean-spirited note as you just sent. You owe Kay a huge apology.

It's time for you to accept that you need to help yourself. Kay forwarded suggestions to you on behalf of all of us when you asked for our thoughts on your situation. Please try to find help in the services available to veterans so that you can find a way to take care of yourself.

I love you, but it is time for you to take more responsibility for yourself.

Krissy
