(3,732 posts)At that point TTW was still attempting to stay in her home and not be evicted.
But I would also have some questions: if a stranger invited you somewhere, would you go? Was it a man?
Also, as I pointed out elsewhere, there was an incident on Daily Kos where a woman and her dog accepted a similar invite to rural Maine - then the person told them the invite was "only for one month". Suddenly they were in rural Maine with much fewer prospects. There are more prospects near urban Philadelphia than rural North Carolina. I would resist going home for the same reason.
What if the person had pets and discovered Yoshi was "too much" after TTW got to North Carolina?
It bothers me how TTW is represented as resisting "good choices" when she might have reasoned them out very well like I have above. She was having to choose from a lot of bad choices really. Her top choice was to move to a new place with Yoshi, but she needed first/last/month rent and a regular job first - i.e, to be in a more stable place first. Perhaps that was impossible, but I think people made it a lot less possible by not respecting how TTW was making her choices.
