Status: Connected to guide: DavidM
DavidM: Welcome to ChaCha!
DavidM: Good day! How may I help you?
You: are all females crazy?
DavidM: I don't think so, but would you like to find resources on relationships?
You: why did the other guide say yes then
DavidM:

Can't speak for him/her.
You: well why dont you think so
DavidM: What I think isn't really important here.
DavidM: All relationships take effort. I know that.
You: im talking about my mother
DavidM: OK. That's a relationship, too.
You: she makes me sleep outside

DavidM: Not really.
You: yes really
DavidM: How old are you?
You: 14
DavidM: If you don't mind me asking?
You: you?
DavidM: Older than 14.
You: 15?
DavidM: OK. I'm going to take the risk that you're being serious. If you are, what do you mean by outside?
You: in the garden
You: by the tree
You: i get a blanket though
You: shes not that curel
You: cruel
DavidM: OK. If you're serious, you need to talk to a teacher/pastor/counselor in private about this. If you're joking, it really isn't funny.
You: ...
You: will they send her to a mental hospital
You: because i dont want that
DavidM: I can't say. What I can say is that this is neither normal nor natural. If this is really happening, then your mother needs real help.
DavidM: Does your father live at home?
You: no
You: it started when he died

DavidM: So, your mom is a single parent. I'm sorry to hear that your father died.
You: yes
DavidM: Why does your mother make you sleep outside?
You: i think she blames me for his death
DavidM: Do you know your guidance counselors at school?
You: no i dont go to school very often
DavidM: You should. They can help you.
DavidM: Do you attend a church anywhere?
You: im not religious
DavidM: I would encourage you to do one of four things.
DavidM: First, if there's an adult relative that you trust, talk to him/her.
You: i dont really know any
DavidM: Second, go to school, ask to meet with a counselor at school
You: and i dont have many friends
DavidM: Third, find a pastor at a nearby church, whether you know them or not, and try to speak to him/her.
You: dont churches abuse vounrable children
DavidM: Fourth, your local Department of Social Services can help, but they will approach the situation much stronger and in a more legal fashion than anyone else.
You: i saw it on the news
DavidM: No. Churches do not abuse children. I am a pastor. (Seriously.) I don't abuse children.
You: some do though?
DavidM: No group of any profession is perfect. But that doesn't mean that they're all evil either.
DavidM: Do you have a Salvation Army in your area?
You: how do i know which are evil
You: im not sure
DavidM: Do you know where The Salvation Army is. Look it up in a phone book if you don't know.
You: dont they give people clothes?
DavidM: Go there. Ask to speak to the Captain or Major in charge. Talk to him/her. I am sure they will take the time to talk to you.
DavidM: They do have Thrift Stores, but they're also a church.
You: are they a real army?
You: becasue i dont want them to kill her

DavidM: If you don't mind me asking, what city/state are you in?
DavidM: The Salvation Army is not an army with guns. We are a church.
You: north carolina
DavidM: I grew up in Burlington. Where are you? You don't have to be too specific, but I know lots of Salvation Army folks in NC.
You: glenville
DavidM: I've not heard of Glenville. What larger town is it near?
You: asheville?
DavidM: I know lots of people in Asheville. The officer there is Major Terry Israel.
You: can i trust him
DavidM: Yes. Absolutely.
You: shall i tell him you sent me
DavidM: Would you like his contact information?
DavidM: You can, but that's up to you.
You: ok
DavidM: Tell him that you came across a person named Captain David May online in a chat area and he recommended that you contact him.
You: i am scared though he might be another abuser
DavidM: His wife's name is Major Donna Israel.
DavidM: I am sure either would be HAPPY to talk to you.
DavidM: I used to teach at The Salvation Army there, so I know lots of people there.
You: do you think my dog can come too
DavidM: I'm sure that can be arranged.
You: he is nice dog
DavidM: Would you like the contact information.
You: yes
DavidM: Hang on. I'll ChaCha it for you.
You: what shall i say when i get there
DavidM: Just ask to speak to Major Israel. Describe your situation, and ask him to help refer you to someone who can help you.
DavidM: I must tell you, he may simply refer you to someone, but I promise you that he will do his best to do what's best for you. I've know him a long time. He's a good man you can trust.
DavidM: Has this been helpful for you?
You: yes
You: thankyou
DavidM: Happy to help. I'll be praying for you.
