I will post the obligatory :meow-hug: :Care-Comrade: :soviet-heart: :meow-popcorn: :sickomogus: :af-heart: things so that it can be easier to engage with constructive thoughts rather than worry about outpouring support. I have good relations with many family members IRL to feel supported in that respect. Much love.
The current house would be an almost perfect option if it weren't for my brother. It's hard to pass up, and it's tempting to just get child protective services over something spurious like bullets lying on a shelf and a gun under the bed so he can finally be out of the picture.
