you must have some fucked up stories to share. and i'm not accusing you of anything..i'm just sayin. you're where?. kentucky...w.va?. i'm betting the everyday routine there is fucken nightmarish as compared to anywhere else in states.


Yeah but of course I can't really tell them. I worked for the state of Ky. One that I can share is a family I visited while doing social work that had a man dying in bed [the father] and a mom that was fucking bonkers. She was dipping snuff running around begging for money and help. I couldn't get anyone to come see the man or get any medical help and he died over the July the 4th weekend. Their kids were filthy and there was shit [actual human excrement in the corners of the rooms where they lived. The smell from the apartment was so bad I was the only SW that would enter their living quarters. They had a young girl [about 11 if I remember ] that was being pimped out by a neighbor. The woman wound up in a mental institution and the kids in foster care. Just another day in the Appalachian coal fields ! There were of course all kind of hairy shit that went on with the juvies and their families but discretion is the better part of valor.


Fuck the Appalachian coal fields, that seems to be the story of anywhere located about 45 miles outside of an urban area.
