Hey...All...
Yet another chapter in my "Damein"saga...
Well...as you all know by now...he got out Oct.15...over three weeks ago. He made it back to Austin,which is where he is from...He got placed there in a halfway house but wuz not "mandated"...so...as soon as he could find an address and get it approved...he could leave!!! Well...first off...this is his first conviction...the whole time we were corresponding...I wuz telling him how hard of a time I wuz having finding a job...I am very well educated and have had some AWESOME jobs...BEFORE!!! my conviction...I do not think that he really believed me...just thought that I wuz not "trying"...so...here's the deal...He still does not have a job nor does he have any "prospects". He has been out all day every day putting in applications and I am sure asking his friends,ect...All with NO luck...When I talked to him last night,he sounded VERY depressed. He did get to leave the halfway house this past Monday and is staying with a friend of his that just happens to be a cop!!! HA!!! IMAGINE THAT!!! And...although he has not said it...I do not think that situation is going too well,either!!! SIGH!!! As I sit here on a Friday night...alone...I am woried that he might NOT be sitting at home...alone!!! I am not so concerned about him with another girl...maybe just him and some drugs!!! That is where my story is going!!! Yeah...I am trying to make some sort of point here!!! LOL!!! I am just "venting"...am afraid that he will be so depressed about not finding a job,ect...that he will go out tonight(his first real Friday night out!!!)and SCORE!!! UGH!!! I will SO KILL HIM!!! :eek:
Anywayz...thanx for listenin'!!! You guyz hold good thoughts for him!!! :yes:

Wishing you and him well...it's got to be discouraging sometimes trying to get back into the world...STAYING WITH A POLICE OFFICER? there's definitely potential for some kinda offbeat sitcom there. I don't blame you for worrying, but you don't KNOW he's messing up...you might be borrowing trouble, too soon to tell. My .02 would be try o stay positive and remember you got all of us pulling for ya- blessings and hugs-

Sorry you are going through this. Has he tried applying through temporary agencies? My husband is now in a halfway house and found a job 1 week after getting his ID and social security card. There were 2 agencies willing to hire him. The job pays well for a temp service. We are in Wisconsin. I don't know about Texas, but just encourage him to keep looking and putting applications in any and everywhere. Good luck.

Hey...Thanx Candy...I do not know what is happening with my Damein as of now...he has not been home...BIG SIGH!!! I tried to call him late last night...no answer...this morning...no answer and have been calling all day...When I talked to him Thursday,he said he would be home all day today...sooo...I am,literally,trippin',and thinkin'the worse!!! But...hopefully,he is just hangin'with some friends or family!!! I keep thinkin'...surely he would not screw up this soon!!! You guyz hold positive thoughts for me as well as my boy and send me some STRENGTH!!!

Sorry to hear about it jojo. I do wish him the best of luck in his job search. Texas is a hard place to be oout of work right now.
