    I don’t think you have been homeless for 2 years! you only graduated a year ago. My friend fed you when you went to her house. what happened to your adoptive parents?? I thought you were living with them

    I actually agree with Izzy, um if anything find someone who will take care of you or will accept you as an employee I mean it is something to get stuff too eat.

    It is truely sad that you would tell all who can see this about problems that you don’t have. You lie and cheat Marty. You went to job corp on your own free will and left there to go to Cali and then to Missouri with your boyfriends. Don’t lie to make your family look bad. There are people out there that really are homeless and need help and people like you ruin it for the ones that actually need it. If you were homeless like you say you are then why do you get on facebook everynight? There are no late night libraries. Shame on you Marty, shame on you!

    JUST 2 months ago he was living wit my mom and dad for 4 months. He was having guys come over for sex so Mom told him he had to change cuz she has a 10 year old daughter at him. He said he couldn’t so moved away… We gave him a computer, cell phone, shoes, meals, snacks and a bedroom that was off to the side of the house that he wanted so badly. He had it MADE….

    Shame on you, Marty. It is truly a shame that you put yourself through this and hurt all those that love you all for pity and attention. I do not know how you live with yourself. Anything worthwhile in life is never easy; you must earn it. It is a great disappointment to see how you have handled all this. We are only human, Marty, but this is beyond excuse; you surely do know better. I truly wish the best for you in life and that you will find your own happiness, but you will need to man up and earn it.
