What are your experiences with shelters?
I've heard that they are horrible to live in, but what does this actually mean? Does this also mean that stuff doesn't get done to transition you, or are they just talking about all the noise?

Hi! I'm 28M and I've never potty trained my miniature poodle. She's 7 in human years and I want to start now. I am going to buy her a harness and a leash and want to know if this will train her. Right now, she is more comfortable pooping in the house than outside, and when she is put outside, she comes right back inside immediately. Will walking her with a leash, since she can't easily go inside without me, train her to go? My uncle doesn't think it will, but that's why I'm asking y'all
Hi! I am 28M and I am about to be homeless. All my life, my grandma and my mother has told me that I am too incapable to live alone due to my medical issues. I am going to challenge that. I am on Mississippi Medicaid, so I get my medicine for free. However, I cannot leave Mississippi, but I am going to leave Meridian because my grandmother has friends everywhere in the city that she uses to keep an eye on me. What is the best city besides Meridian to go to in Mississippi? I'll primarily be at libraries and hospitals, and when at night I aim to buy a tent and tarp I pitch.
Hi! I'm 28M and I won't get into too much detail, but I have hypopituitarism and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency. I want to turn to nomadic living. Now, I do have Medicaid, so I WILL have to stay in Mississippi, as that's where my medicaid is based, however I do want to visit different towns. Due to my abuser limiting my access to a bank account, I will have NO money, but I do hope to eventually work from the road, make money, and then buy stuff like a cooking set and solar panel, tent and battery. But I know, those come later. Any tips for me? I've decided I want out of the life my parents crafted for me and I'm done with the "You'll never live alone" lies
I'm 28M and I may be homeless in a few years, but before I do, I want to get some gear. Specifically an E-Trike, A solar panel, battery, tent, etc. But here in Mississippi, you cannot camp on public or private property, provided it's not your own house or apartment. So I want to know what's the best states that have reduced homeless laws?
NOTE: This is from The Amazing Digital Circus, but it is still relevant
So Ribbit said that she cut ties with her parents because they were devout Mormons and she wasn't. What is this supposed to imply? That they used their religious beliefs as a way to make her stay home, possibly abused her?
It would be so cool if Caine could "sense" the headset being on, and he could upload a copy of each character's mind file, in relation to what person has it on, to the headset, making it where the person basically relives everything their counterpart went through in the circus. Would this be cruel? Maybe, but I think it would allow Caine to tell them "Hey, when you put on the headset, you allow brain scans with your trauma to enter here. Tell your friends, tell everyone to leave us be"
Hi! I am 28M and all my life, I have been told that I am unfit to, or will I ever, live alone. I have hypopituitarism and secondary adrenal insufficiency and my grandma (I'll get to her later) threatened me that if I move out, I will be institutionalized and locked up. I have a rocky relationship with my grandma. But like I said, I'll get to her later
When I was born, the doctors told my mother I would be r*tarded. When I was around 10, I went to go see a neurologist who told my mom that I was so aware that I was NOT r*tarded. Still, she told me all my life that I cannot move out, and I MUST stay at home or with family ALL my life. I had a talk with her and my grandma, and they said while they understand the need for my own space, they do not agree. Now, my grandma let's me have controlled independence. This is basically driving me to the store, letting me go in and shop alone, etc. But when it comes to asking for any of my documents, which she withholds, I'm not allowed them. I called APS on her one time, but she unfortunately had the worker go away.
My grandma is 67 and suffers from Cushing's disease, a disease that floods the brain with excess cortisol, which is a stress hormone. So as you can imagine, I spent 9 years under her room enduring a lot of yelling and screaming, throwing things, etc. While I am not excusing her behaviour, it IS her condition, but I'm just so done. I was s*icidal for a bit, even idealized it, but I'm better now when it comes to depression. I kinda normalized that I might never have a normal life.
P.S she also has me on a joint bank account with her, hides my SSN so I can't open one of my own, etc. And I am a vulnerable adult so I don't know what to do
What are my legal options?

This is the topic that came up at therapy today. I am 28M and I told my therapist about how I've been sheltered my whole life and how my family doesn't support my independence. They give me controlled independence, but only to keep me compliant. I told my therapist that my grandma has Cushing's syndrome, which floods the brain with access cortisol. Even after telling him how irritable my grandma is, he still said "Well I think it's important to let her know how you feel," like what's that gonna do? She's a walking time bomb. She emotionally abuses her own husband, daughter, and myself.
Now, I do have hypopituitarism and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency, but I think at this point, I'd risk homelessness. What do y'all think?
I have SAI as well as hypopituitarism. My home situation is so bad and my mother won't even treat me like I'm an adult. I may be leaving soon and Im just wondering if anyone with AI has ever been homeless
So I am 28M with a mental disability (not really incapacitated, just have a learning disability. Anyway, I was in the kitchen doing dishes tonight and my uncle came down from Florida, and just got out of a really nasty divorce, so he's been hanging at my grandma's house, doing things she needs done. Anyway, he's been doing stuff like knocking on my door frame (the door is open, he can see me) and whenever I VISIBLY act annoyed (put my other headphone bud on) he still keeps going. Well, I was doing dishes and he comes up behind me, goes "good game" and grabs my butt. Then he keeps on poking me, even after I say stop. It gets to the point where I don't even think, I just jab him in the stomach, and he goes "You do that again, me and you are going to have a problem." I texted him after the fact, after he went home and I said "I'm sorry for earlier, I just don't know how to get you to stop." and he texted back and said "Its okay, I'll stop." Am I overreacting?
Do you guys think now that the show is done, Gooseworx will start to give us little bits of info about the lore of the world, the characters, etc? Like any unsolved mysteries, or do you think the fandom drained her so much she's not going to even talk about TADC again?
You guys noticed how Caine deleted the blue AI from his system and now Bubble is gone? Hmmmmmmm
I'm 28M and I have hypopituitarism and SAI. My endocrinologist said he believes I can become independent, it's just a matter of keeping my steroids dry. And to those asking why I'm 28 and I'm still living with family: they threaten me with forcing me into a facility if I try and move out. I will say this, if I do leave, I will personally walk, even if it takes a full day, to my pharmacy to get my medicine. And the reason I am wanting to leave is because I constantly am devalued, yelled at, told my family understands me, but nothing really gets done in regards to what I want, for example "I want to open an ABLE account" and being told "No. This isn't what you think it is. You'll just be taken advantage of." I'm done. 28 years of this. Does anyone have any advice?
I don't know, my endocrinologist said I can, and I am slowly being weened off of growth hormone, and the only medicine I really take are hydrocortisone and levothyroxine, so I guess as long as I have my medicaid card and can get refills, I should be good, right? I know if I ever get a stomach bug or the flue, I should probably triple dose
