Thanks for the great advice. I've told her to "start small" (like a barrista at a coffee shop) and see if she can work herself into management. She's also got into eBay selling, and has made some money on it. She's pretty smart and resourceful.
I also told her about trying to get the felony off her record, which I suspect she'll do once she gets on her feet and has money to pay the lawyers.
I've seen a few posts on GFY about adderall. That is a dangerous drug. The side effects just creep up on you. She initially took it to get "focused," but then she was taking more and more because 1 pill just wasn't enough. Eventually, she became incredibly paranoid ("the black helicopters are coming to get me....."), and she burned a fucking empty house down (WTF??!). It is kinda amazing seeing a perfectly normal person just go down the toilet off of a drug that isn't hard to get (just going into the doctor's office and say, "I need to concentrate better...").
I keep all the pics to myself lol.
