Miss Seagoon is an adult and I still worry sick. She should be ok tho as the fam will have left her enough to at least have a home.

The thought of my baby nephew having to go through even a fraction of the challenges I’ve had to live through in this sick world just breaks my fucking heart.
The thought of that sweet innocent child exposed to any of the dangers I’ve had to face makes me die inside.
And unfortunately I’m still living through those same dangers and trying to stay alive myself. So if and when he faces those dangers I’m not sure what resources I have to help him, since I apparently don’t have the answers.
I think I’ve only got prayers left at this point.
The one thing I can do if I die is at least leave him what I have in a will.

I wish only the best for Miss Seagoon: happiness, or at the very least peace and contentment.

Hope you’re doing ok and are out of whichever dangers affected you. I think the world has lots of problems. But also, there’s lots of things that are better than they used to be. (At least in the western world). Better healthcare, less racism, less homophobia, more awareness of mental health issues, taking domestic violence seriously, etc. I think your nephew is lucky in one aspect - never underestimate how important it can be in a kids life to have a plain speaking uncle/aunt who might tell them about world perspectives their parents may not.

Doesn’t really put food on the table or provide shelter but I guess it’s better than nothing.

There’s a life hack where you can buy food from a super market and just put the seeds from the food in dirt then boom, free food. Unless you’re doing exotics, they’re very low maintenance to the point where keeping them under control and not having too much food is the hardest problem.
Also, there’s nothing stopping you or your nephew moving abroad for a far lower cost of living. South America is beautiful, Japan has cheap houses with land, and so on.

Parents might have an issue with me abducting their child and taking them to a foreign country lol but it’s an intriguing idea.
