OK. More like part 1,000,000...but...whatever...
I seem to have recently "recovered" from both "severe mental illness" and "treatment" (read: involuntary, hardcore electroshock). This is God's work in my life, of course. I was -never- expected to recover.
So, my angry, probably drunk neighbors, are yelling about me going to jail, prison, etc. I don't get it. I have 1 conviction on my record. I was charged with a felony, the lawyer my parents hired managed to get it reduced to a very serious ("Class A") misdemeanor. The judge slammed me with a full 5 years probation (that's the maximum for any offense in my state), but the probation people released me after only 3 years probation. I was released from probation nearly 1 year ago.
Ugh. Having been in jail, having gone thru legal stuff, etc., taunts like that...get to me. I don't know. They'll yell at me, stuff like "faggot, judge took pity on you!" and "faggot! you have FELONIES!," etc., and...wow. I get it, you know?
I'm blessed beyond measure. I live comfortably with my now more "well-to-do" parents. I'm not mentioning their social class to be snotty, just...if The Lord -had not- blessed them with more resources, higher status, etc., I could very well be locked up somewhere. Prison most likely, but we still do have a state hospital, so...yeah. Locked up doing work detail, or locked up, sippin' on Thorazine punch. Which would you prefer, lol?
I ask that your pray for my family and me (yes, yes; again...). I don't know what these people are talking about. This isn't as rough as it was, at times not so long past. Once, people were in the yard at 4 AM, yelling about jail, warrants, etc. Ugh. I guess this is was happens to "uppity mental patients" and "trouble makers," etc. I certainly didn't sign up for all this, lol.
So...yeah. Happy New Years to you and yours, and please keep my family and me up in prayer. Thanks.
