Tom and I recently moved into a new place in North Carolina, I think we will stay here for the rest of the summer (last two places were horrendous.) Before we moved in, we were basically interrogated by the lady who owns the house. After what she told me, I don’t blame her. People who have lived here before took advantage of her kindness. Some stole from her, some allowed drugs and alcohol to be brought into her home, others lied to her and when it came time for her to need help, no one was there to help her (aside from family, friends and church).
I felt so bad for this woman to have so many people take advantage of her kind nature and generous spirit. She allowed them to live in her home or rather the above garage apartment, and they took advantage of that. They didn’t treat her with the respect she deserved and now because of it she has become untrustworthy. Thankfully she is happy with Tom and I, and we are doing everything we can to show her we are trustworthy and won’t disrespect her or her home. Sometimes in this society that’s what you need to do. You need to take the time and effect to basically prove yourself to someone. Yet people don’t want to do that which in turn makes us untrusting. Its a vicious cycle.
