> I was homeless with my adult sons for nearly six years. None of us has a mental health diagnosis and none of us does drugs or drinks. We are all tea-totallers.

3 or more able bodied adults and none of you could scrape together enough cash to afford rent on a studio apartment.

I call bullshit.

Either you are lying or you are a shit parent.

> My blogging mostly doesn't pay my bills. I occasionally get tips and I have a little Patreon support, but I've been told for years "Get a real job. Writing just doesn't pay, you slacker you." and it's like "Writing is something I can do without it creating high medical bills and making me unable to work at all. I do it well enough to sometimes hit the front page of Hacker News. Why the hell shouldn't this be a means to support myself?"

Oh. I see.

Well, no wonder you're homeless: you're living in fantasy world. If you're blogging isn't enough to pay the bills, try something else!
