Living in an over 55 community. I’ve felt lonely for a long time. I lost much in the way of human interaction with those meaningful and close relationships. What i’m realizing is i’m not alone. Also it’s very sad, i just got it early due to life choice and my brain injury. It happens to most our friends die or friendships change and couples tend do group stuff.

They sounded funny to me, Italian and Czech still spoken 1/2 and 1/2.

He feels the pain of people like him: brain injury survivors, disabled, homeless, mentally ill, addicted. Most of the time it’s just been him in a trailer or hotel room. When he called people and used awful words, it wasn’t to hurt them—it was trying to get them to see the pain their actions cause to the most vulnerable, not just him. He just wanted them to stop.
He’s never threatened anyone. But they’ve moved his case from OC to LA to SF, digging through his phone, and now his health is collapsing. We’re scared. We’re trying to get his Hope After Stroke dream going, but right now he needs a safe place to live and legal help from someone who ...
