Although I'm unwilling to disclose the name of my country, since it would destroy the purpose of making a new account, I can say that I am in middle Europe, hence we don't have a foodstamp system embraced. Nor are we a first world country... more like a transitional country? Yeah, that's the classification, I believe. Unfortunately, although we do have food banks, we have to get a document verifying we fill the qualifications needed to receive help. And since I am currently living in a household that has a good income (my father being a war veteran, he got a good pension - none of that money goes beyond... his personal hedonism, to put it that way, but the government and institutions couldn't care less about it) - I am branded as a person that does not need help. And there is no way to bypass the system, unless I move households... and I don't have anywhere to move to. A bit of a checkmate position right there. And I just learned today that my grand-grandmother (also living with us) has a pension high enough to pay bills and provide some food. Would not be king-like, but beggars aren't choosers. However, my father is supposedly an authorized person to pull the money out of the bank. Why she authorized him, I have absolutely no idea. But, you get the picture what happens with it. Even more ironic is that he always told me she has almost no pension. That's a really douche move. However, thank you for the advice - I can understand that. If any of them were in trouble, I'd want to know so I could help, of course. I can safely assume the same goes the other way around. I guess that sometimes pride goes over my head and I don't want to ask for help. I'll try to work on decreasing that. I guess there is no other way, but to keep trucking. Oh and yeah, I don't think there is a way to deal with my father, being a war veteran, he just cannot end up in prison. Why the law system is flawed like that, I don't know. Well, I do know, but I don't want to turn this into criticizing the government. Nothing good will come out of that.
